I will admit that David Sedaris has a writing style that is amusing, but I still didn't think this book was as funny as it was purported to be. To be completely honest, I ditched it about 2/3 of the way through. It just wasn't a book that I wanted to keep reading.
Don't let my review stop you from reading it, though. Like I said, everyone else I know who has read this quite enjoyed it.
On to next month. The book I have selected for April is
Edenbrooke
by Julianne Donaldson
From Goodreads:
Marianne Daventry will do anything to escape the boredom of Bath and the amorous attentions of an unwanted suitor. So when an invitation arrives from her twin sister, Cecily, to join her at a sprawling country estate, she jumps at the chance. Thinking she’ll be able to relax and enjoy her beloved English countryside while her sister snags the handsome heir of Edenbrooke, Marianne finds that even the best laid plans can go awry.
From a terrifying run-in with a highwayman to a seemingly harmless flirtation, Marianne finds herself embroiled in an unexpected adventure filled with enough romance and intrigue to keep her mind racing. Will she be able to rein in her traitorous heart, or will a mysterious stranger sweep her off her feet? Fate had something other than a relaxing summer in mind when it sent Marianne to Edenbrooke.
This "Proper Romance" has a gotten great reviews on Goodreads (average 4.41 stars), Amazon (average 4.7 stars), and Barnes & Noble (average 5 stars).
I hope this book is more enjoyable than my other picks :-P
Happy Reading!
