I Tried To Like It...

...really I did, but I just couldn't get into it. Actually, I did get into it, but that wasn't until the last four chapters. Before that, I was just reading to get finished.

I won't rehash what others have already said. James' character was very one dimensional. There was more to him leaving Georgia than what he gave as his reasons. I felt sort of like the author really didn't have any experience in being a single mother, or in an interracial relationship. Dakota seemed unreal to me, too. What 12 year old talks like that? I really liked Lucie, Gran, Anita and Cat. Those characters seemed real to me. They were authentic. I kinda felt like Georgia was contrived. To me, she, James and Dakota were merely backdrops, and the other characters were real. Even though Georgia is the main character, I still didn't feel like I knew her. I'm a single mom, but I couldn't relate to this character.

The ending left me feeling jilted. It was sad and unexpected, but afterwards I was just annoyed. Anyway, if you like pappy chick lit, this is the book for you, but if you want something of substance, I'd suggest something by Amy Tan.
