Not all of the stories were about absent fathers, but it was a definite motif.<BR/><BR/>gentle reader - The stories were interesting, and I didn't like The Guy Not Taken as much as the others, but I'll be interested to see the movie version as well.<BR/><BR/>Andi - I'll be catching up on more of her work soon. I enjoyed In Her Shoes, but that is the only other thing I've read by her.jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-92232775376996820752007-08-02T06:39:00.000-05:002007-08-02T06:39:00.000-05:00I love Jennifer Weiner, but oddly enough, I haven'...I love Jennifer Weiner, but oddly enough, I haven't heard many thoughts on this book (maybe because it is short stories). Thanks for the thoughtful review. I'll certainly try to secure a copy soon.Andihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05220718933942181809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-50419384412354279912007-08-01T22:44:00.000-05:002007-08-01T22:44:00.000-05:00I, too, am the child of a solid marriage, but I've...I, too, am the child of a solid marriage, but I've known so many who have been affected by their parents' divorce. I'll look out for the movie version of The Guy Not Taken--thanks for the review!Gentle Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09102364083044797155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-31407611136412682982007-08-01T19:35:00.000-05:002007-08-01T19:35:00.000-05:00Jennifer Weiner is hilarious - moreso in her every...Jennifer Weiner is hilarious - moreso in her everyday writing than her stories, although I truly think she's an excellent writer. I'd have to approach the book from the same perspective you did, being the child of solid marriage (and, I guess my 25 years-as-of-next-week counts as a stable marriage, too). I'll look for this one, thanks!Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.com
