Summary: Captivating
Review: The author of these captivating novellas moves skillfully from the grief stricken interior lives of the betrayed to the slick, sometimes comical social worlds they inhabit. The prose, at times, is snapshot specific. Fleming's ear for dialogue is not always perfect but all the rest is poetry. To be sure, the Southern California characters have a certain type of glamour, but their pain is deep and real. No, this isn't Anna Karenina, but it's just as painful, a lot shorter, and, at times, a lot funnier.

Summary: One of the worst books I've ever read
Review: Where do I begin? I only read this book because the back cover contained a good review by Frank McCourt, who must have been either drunk or insane when he wrote it.
The writing in this story is no different from a Harlequin Romance. The characters are unbelievable, the plots are stupid, and the characters are so utterly unlikeable that you actually relish in their misery. The second novella concerns a raving idiot of a husband who cannot get over his wife's "infidelity". They go for counselling, he ends up on Prozac and Viagra, and acts like a moron every chance he gets. And his wife didn't even have an affair - she had a one-night stand consisting of oral sex.
What this author doesn't know about men is a lot: her male character is essentially a woman named David. No man acts, thinks, or behaves, quite like this. This author is obviously connected - how else can such trite fluff be published?
