Married attorneys practicing together, eccentric clients, corporate conspiracy. If you like your women sexy, but docile and can handle a thick layer of corny humor and oddball characters, this is the book for you. But, maybe, if we were all steeped in this corporate greed culture, we wouldn't have been caught off guard by the opioids and Big Pharma. ( ) Overall kept my interest. Written very brightly, with plenty of humor and intelligence. Action is pretty quick, with some detours. Detractions: The protagonist is unlikable. I'm sorry, there's no way around this one. I started out loving her -- spunky, intelligent, caustic. I wanted to love her all the way through, but it's not possible, due to her very deliberate actions against her marriage. And all the rationalizing (they didn't go all the way, etc) doesn't take away the fact that she cheated. Period.

This outing is an abomination. Nonsensical, with neither a plot nor any discernable grammar skills. On the bright side, it is a library book so back it goes! somewhere underneath all the hubbub is a pretty good novel, but it just didn't quite get there. i feel like clark just tried to do too much with this story. i previously enjoyed [book:The Many Aspects of Mobile Home Living: A Novel|336474], so hoped for the same bit of entertainment with the jezebel remedy. clark's sense of humour fell flat for me in TJR - at some points it was uncomfortable in seeming to (inappropriately) play up cultural stereotypes. i was also disappointed in the ending - it was tidy and nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
