Summary: I agree with Ranson
Review: 100% agreement with Ranson's review. This book is about the most boring of the Walsh sisters. I don't understand why she picked this sister when she had the two fun ones left! Not only that, but I think that Marian's observations of Southern California were pathetic. She did a horrid job of capturing the lifestyle and environment of California. Stick to the European side of the world that you know better OR do more personal research of the area you intend to write about, Mrs. Keyes.
My recommendation is to skip this one and read "The Other Side of the Story". Marian did a knock out job on that book. Or just go back and read Lucy Sullivan and Watermelon a few more times and wait for Marian's next novel.

Summary: I'm so BORED!
Review: I loved her other books, but this one has got to be the most boring thing I've ever read. As one living in Los Angeles, the over-used stereotypical references to teeth (white) and tans (dark) are, after 150 pages, boring. There are only so many jokes to be done about Los Angeles-- she should have stopped after the first round. Has Marion spent more than two days in Los Angeles, or did she rely on Baywatch reruns to formulate her cast of "characters"?
I'm on page 180 of this book, and I Just Don't Care to read any more. Thankfully, it's just a library book.Note to Marion: REZA is a MAN'S NAME. You will not find a Persian woman (Bahai or otherwise) with the name REZA. It was after reading that part of the book that made me say "Pfffftttt-reading this is a waste of time!"
