Now, this book wasn't as easy to breeze through, because I just couldn't relate to the characters. Here's the deal: Lucy just found out that her husband has been cheating on her with a few women, and on top of that, he's dying of a terminal illness. As a sort of payback, Lucy takes Artie's black book and calls up all of his exes so that they could come and make amends one last time.
This book ultimately deals with these women coming to stay with Lucy, to watch Artie, and they bond over their love of Artie, and what he has taught them about themselves. Barf.
I had a real problem with this guy, who had continually cheated on his wife, not even really act remorseful for being with all of these women. Especially when he was on his deathbed. The whole time it was kind of like, "Oh, Artie! That's just the way he is!" No way, Jose. I just felt so bad for Lucy and the predicament she was in, especially while dealing with these other women who knew Artie just as intimately.
But hey, whatever floats your boat, as Levar Burton always said, "don't take my word for it." Read it yourself! I'm all about a lively discussion on books!
