the first 3/4 of this book is an incredible, charming romantic drama. the last 1/4 is not so good. I think I would've had a hard time with this book if I was sentient while george bush was president

I loved this book! It is, as they say, smack dab in the center of my wheelhouse. A story arc that takes place over a long period of time, character driven with complex and contradictory personalities, and a hint of something rare that touches and illuminates their lives. Now, I want to go read more Curtis Sittenfeld!

Interesting to read her autobiography and compare. Obviously parts of this book must have been fictionalized but there were many parts I could pick up on that actually happened. Want to hear her take on the same events.
