Review: Still puzzled...
Rating: 3 out of 5

I'm very conflicted about this book. The writing was impeccable. There wasn't any really noticeable gaffes...I think I saw one, maybe two. And it certainly didn't distract from the book.However, it almost seemed too polished. I kept feeling like it was a romance culled from between the pages of "Architectural Digest" and "Good Manners Weekly". The characters were too perfect and polished, even while claiming they weren't. Hint; tiny stretch marks on the hips after childbirth do not qualify as disfigurement.The story is decent and the characters, while reaching a level of sophistication unheard of, are at least, (thankfully) not so juvenile and whiny that it sets one's teeth on edge and eyes rolling.The responses to some situations confused me and seemed a bit disjointed, and everyone sounded as if they had been in therapy, which was not necessarily a bad thing but it did leave me a bit puzzled.All in all, not a bad book. A good solid three to three and a half stars.
