“Could she love someone the mosquitos didn’t like?” Seriously, poor Norman. He has the good fortune not to be a mosquito magnet, and this somehow makes him a less desirable mate? Run, Norman. Save yourself!!!!!

Also, why does she suspect her younger sister of being involved in a bank robbery in the 70’s????? Has this series jumped the shark???

Hannah is almost 30 but thinks wearing her hair in a ponytail is “too young for her?” I know this book was written in the early 2000s but I’m pretty sure 20-somethings wore their hair in ponytails even then. Hannah acts like she is living in an episode of Mad Men while everyone around her is on Gilmore Girls.

Remains unclear why Hannah is acting like even more of an old biddy than usual.

Hannah’s obsession with her weight is grating…less than 50 pages in!

“In her heart of hearts, she knew she had at least twenty pounds to lose, maybe even more. And come to think of it, perhaps that was why Norman hadn’t asked her to marry him.”

WHAT? Why would that be her first thought? Doesn’t seem like she even wants to marry Norman, but how dare he not propose? It must be because she’s fat!
