Very interesting, original book about a 35-year-old writer, Clarissa Burden, who is struggling to find her voice during a bout of writer's block, and also trying to figure out what to do about her marriage to the indifferent Iggy. At times, the story was bizarre, but I thought the writing was excellent and the ending hopeful. Clarissa's story takes place in a 24 hour period. It wasn't until I had nearly finished the book that I realized how brilliantly Connie May Fowler had paced it. At the beginning, things move slowly because Clarissa is slowly going about her day (and fuming about her husband). As Clarissa gets closer to making the decision to leave her jerk of a husband, the pacing starts to really pick up until it got so that I couldn't put down the book. I must say that Clarissa really, really annoyed me. While it is reasonable to expect your spouse to take care of a few household tasks, it is quite ridiculous to let your trash pile up for weeks (in the back of your barely running truck no less!) while you complain to yourself that your spouse didn't do as asked. Take care of it yourself! Clarissa finally did just that (and it seemed to propel her into getting rid of more than just the trash), but why'd it take so long? Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. I have to admit that it took me a little while to really get into this book. The first part of the book moves a bit slower than I would have liked. I was also a bit disappointed in Clarissa that she just sat back and let her deadbeat husband walk all over her. I kept waiting for her to just tell him off or even punch him (smile). At first I was also a bit confused by the ghost element but as the story progressed and the characters developed I became more and more drawn to Clarissa and could not wait to find out what would ultimately happen in the end and began to understand her a bit more. Although a slow start this book redeemed itself in the end. I would definitely read more of Connie May Fowler's novels. Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. I fouind this book a little hard to get into and the pace was a little slower than some of her other books but I love her writing style and her settings. i always feel reading her books a deep sense of her southern roots and I was love her characters and find a certain kinship and fondness with them. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

I felt myself grow just a little right along with Clarissa. I disliked "Iggy" from the get go, and was fantasizing his death right along with Clarissa.
I laughed and cried throughout most of the book and my heart stopped a few times. Overall I will have to keep this one on the shelf to come back to time and again.
