I reserved Happiness Sold Separately from the library because I really liked Lolly Winston’s Good Grief and then sassymonkey blogged about it and reminded me I hadn’t read it. I liked it but not nearly as much as Good Grief.
I’m lucky, I’ve never had fertility problems or faced infertility. And, I find I can’t relate well to stories about women who do have these issues. Not only couldn’t I relate, none of Elinor’s actions felt right to me – right in the, “that’s how I’d feel” or “that’s how I’d react” sort of way. But then again, you don’t really know how you’d feel or how you’d react ’til you go through it, right?
Anyway, I enjoyed the book but it didn’t grab me the way Good Grief did and I didn’t find the characters as likeable as sassymonkey did. I think the only character I really liked was Kat, the next door neighbor. .
