Felt like quick, amusing reading through most of it, which is a good set up for the end. It gets better the more I think about it. ( ) I don't have too much to say about this book. I loved, loved, loved Welcome to my Planet, whereas this book didn't have as great an effect on me. I liked that there were serious themes and issues (i.e. the death of a good friend to cancer), thereby showing that chick lit isn't all light fluff. I didn't like that there was zero discussion of Shannon's work, besides mentioning that she did have an office job of some sort. Full-time work consumes enough of one's time that it should be worthy of at least a little mental space. I could relate to a lot of the issues Shannon goes through with her mother! Especially the difficulty of maintaining a relationship with any emotional significance if you decide to pull back and stop telling your mother everything. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

We first met Shannon Olsonour semifictional heroinein Welcome to My Planet. Now, in Children of God Go Bowling, we find Shannon in her mid-thirties and still besieged by reminders that her life is anything but normal. Her friends are blossoming in marital bliss, everyone seems to own a home, and even her baby sister is having a baby. Why, in the march to adulthood, has she been left behind?In an effort to be proactive, Shannon embarks upon a feng shui-inspired campaign to make room in her life for a futureor at least the hope of one. She joins group therapy (to meet new people), accepts blind dates (hey, you never know), and even gives organized religion a go (with mixed results). Of course, surprises await her in the struggle against anxietyand from some unlikely sources.With encore performances by Shannons mother, Flo (called one of the great moms of American fiction by Garrison Keillor), and other indelible characters from Welcome to My Planet, Children of God Go Bowlingis the heroic, heartbreaking, hilarious story of a woman making her life happen when it didnt quite happen for her.
