chick lit...love it or hate it


the late, lamented molly marx by sally koslow definitely fits into this category - i was sucked in by the description of the book and thought it was going to be something it wasn't. it was ok, but so much of the plot we are familiar with, and i don't know if ms. koslow did any better. there are some sweet moments of her thoughts about her daughter (the narrator of the story is molly marx, and she tells her story as she sees it unfold from some place in the afterlife). i'm still puzzled as to who it was that caused her to have the accident that killed her, and i'm annoyed by that. it was ok - probably best saved for a flight or day at the beach - and definitely wait for the paperback, or better yet, borrow it from the library.
