I usually stay away from the books with mother/daughter or divorce issues, but I liked this. ( )

I like Laura Moriarty. I really do. She's really, really nice and her first novel, [b:The Center of Everything|229201|The Center of Everything|Laura Moriarty|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1308959653s/229201.jpg|1721240], was quite good. I had a lot of hopes for her. I scooped her second novel up right away. Huge disappointment. And when the third, While I'm Falling came out, I was slow to buy it and even slower to get around reading it. Word came out that a fourth novel was on its way, so I thought I better get to it.

Another
huge
disappointment.


Did I mention I really like Laura Moriarty? 'Cause I do. It's just that The Center of Everything was good; and The Rest of Her Life (TRoHL) and While I'm Falling (WIF) were not.

Now, this review is about WIF, but it easily applies to TRoHL. And since I didn't write a review for the earlier book, this counts as a review for both. The problem with both books is that there isn't much of a story. There's potential for a story, but it just never develops into anything that should be longer than thirty pages. Another problem with both novels is that they're filled with unlikable characters. I don't mean characters that are bad human beings, because those can be fun; rather, characters that are incessantly whiny in an annoying way and bring nothing of quality to the world of literature. Imagine a book about Bella Swan having a bad week: That's the premise of WIF. WTF?

Despite having been so disappointed two times in a row, I am still a fan of Moriarty's. I think she definitely has potential and I can't help but blame some outside force for the decline. I will be reading The Chaperone when it is released in June. Something tells me this will be the one that brings her out of her slump.

I still believe in you, Laura. ( )

Great car listen. A mother and daughter face the worst month of their lives and get through it. Full of wit and woe.

Oh, what a disappointment this book is! After reading The Center of Everything, I was eagerly anticipating another wonderful book by the same author.

The story line of a college age girl whose parents are getting a divorce simply felt contrived, flat and lacking of depth.

I finished the book, but long about 1/2 way through I wanted to chuck it out a 20 story window.

Not recommended.

There is an expiry date on blaming your parents for steering you in the wrong direction; the moment you are old enough to take the wheel, responsibility lies with you. - J. K. Rowling, Harvard Commencement, 2008

ON A VERY COLD DAY during my sophomore year of college, when I was living just an hour away from home in a dorm, my father returned from a two-day seminar on financial planning to find what he initially thought was a stranger asleep in his bed.
