Margarettown- Gabrielle Zevin
What a small book to present such a premise. And what a chick- lit way to present a sci-fi-ey topic! I read this a few months ago (during my no posting phase), and strangely, I don't remember the ending. However! I do remember not wanting to re-read the book. Concept-wise, it's great: a house and town all devoted to one person and the various stages of her life all wrapped up in a love story/ chick lit bow. I like the idea of a woman becoming a new person in every stage of her life, yet still being haunted by the past versions. I don't know why I didn't completely love the book- it may have been the writing, the pansy boyfriend, or something else. Overall, I'm glad I read it; I just don't want to do it again.
3 bookworms- only because it's not standard chick lit fare and I doubt guys will like this, despite its faux chick lit status.
