At first, I hated this book and I almost stopped reading it. The main character is weird and annoying, definitely someone you would make fun of in real life. Then you just start feeling bad for her and all of her social awkwardness. All of a sudden the book has sucked you in and you care for Eleanor and feel terrible about what you thought about her in the beginning. Now I can’t wait for the film to come out (Reese Witherspoon is sure turning into a producing mogul).
SKIP The Island House – I would read The Identicals instead. I like the idea of a huge house on an east coast beach where your kids and your “summer children” come every year even into their adulthood. Unfortunately, this story had too many characters with too many stories to really get invested. Plus, some of the storylines are just a tad too unbelievable.
