I am not sure why this book got the Pulizer. It's not that good. Sure it speaks to a little touched on personal moment with people but it falls short on many accounts. I found Olive to be a bitter, mean character whom too advantage of her friends and relatives. This realization doesn't come for Olive herself till very late in the book and I grew tried of her before then. Not sorry I read it, but it wasn't anywhere near as good as I had hoped.
