I'm really into this sort of book right now, with a cast of characters in a community who have interesting relationships and problems that all tangle together with surprising ripple effects. Loved loved loved this. ( ) Ooookay. I'm not sure who the heck I am anymore. I recently read, and enjoyed (!), two gothic fiction books and now I'm giving five stars to chick lit??? Yikes. But yah, I really enjoyed this book. I liked the idea of an agoraphobic moderating an online bulletin board, The Hudson Valley Ladies' Bulletin Board, and stirring things up by posting a nasty rumor. I liked delving into the domestic life of each of the women. There was a good mix of lousy husbands and good guys. There were no cheesy, eye rolling or gaggy moments. My favorite characters / plot line were Alison and Jackie. It was a nice quick read for a lazy summer day. When something you enjoy is threatened it sometimes calls for desperate measures. When Eliza's community bulletin board is threatened by a younger, hipper board, she starts a false rumor to give hers some life. However, not all best intentions end well. This is a moving, book about a woman that has to step out of her comfort zone to save something important to her and in the process learn more about herself. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
"The author of Nine Women, One Dress delivers a charming, unforgettable novel about four women, one little lie, and the big repercussions that unite them all. It wasn't supposed to happen this way. When Eliza Hunt created The Hudson Valley Ladies' Bulletin Board fifteen years ago she was happily entrenched in her picture-perfect suburban life with her husband and twin preschoolers. Now, with an empty nest and a crippling case of agoraphobia, the once-fun hobby has become her lifeline. So when a rival parenting forum threatens the site's existence, she doesn't think twice before fabricating a salacious rumor to spark things up a bit. It doesn't take long before that spark becomes a flame. Across town, new mom and site devotee Olivia York is thrown into a tailspin by what she reads on the bulletin board. Alison Le is making cyber friends with a woman who isn't quite who she says she is. And Amanda Cole, Eliza's childhood friend, may just hold the key to unearthing why Eliza can't step out of her front door. In all this chaos, one thing is for sure...Hudson Valley will never be the same. Funny, romantic, raw, and hopeful, this is a story about being a woman and of the healing power of sisterhood"-- No library descriptions found. |
