Helpful Score: 1

I loved Lori Lansens' The Girls, but this novel simply didn't have the same extraordinary plot or characters. A morbidly obese, kind-hearted woman whose husband leaves is not the foundation for memorable fiction. Her journey of self-discovery is interesting, but not absorbing. The lack of resolution at the end confirmed my two-star rating. I had hoped for something more from this author who wrote The Girls with such faultless prose and timing.
