Book Reviews of Watermelon
Book Review: Just O.K.
Summary: 3 Stars
Having never read anything by this author before, I decided to purchase this book after reading some of the positive reviews. In general, I enjoyed the story . . . but the characters were not developed well AT ALL. The story made it seem as if the baby was just left in a room all day . . . and not really given much thought. I didn't really "get" Claire's family. Like I said, the characters were not well developed so it made it hard to feel connected to them. Some of the story lines were a bit far-fetched and a little hard to believe.
Having only read one of her books, I'm not inclined to write this author off just yet. However, I hope this is one of her less inspired writings.
Summary of Watermelon
February the fifteenth is a very special day for me. It is the day I gave birth to my first child. It is also the day my husband left me...I can only assume the two events weren't entirely unrelated.
Claire has everything she ever wanted: a husband she adores, a great apartment, a good job. Then, on the day she gives birth to their first baby, James informs her that he's leaving her. Claire is left with a newborn daughter, a broken heart, and a postpartum body that she can hardly bear to look at.
She decides to go home to Dublin. And there, sheltered by the love of a quirky family, she gets better. So much so, in fact, that when James slithers back into her life, he's in for a bit of a surprise.
