Book Review of A Desirable Residence

A Desirable Residence

Helpful Score: 4


Although I really like some of this author's books (Sophie Kinsella), this was a really bad one. There were about 10 main characters, none of whom were likeable, (Ok, well, Jonathan, the cuckolded husband became someone you couldn't help but like at the very end, and Daniel Witherstone, the son, you can't help but find him appealing because he just tries so hard). She didn't flesh any of them out, they were just paper dolls, flimsy and without substance cliches (the cheating wife, the oblivious husband, the bratty and truly unlikable daughter, the cheating executive, his pushy/perfect wife who walked all over him, etc.) Definite library book vs. one for the keeper shelf, save your credit, you won't want to own and re-read it.
