Good book. Not too fluffy but has elements of popular culture (could be a beach read). I think the thing that makes this book shine is that it is apparent that Ms. Quindlen is very smart and does not write just to fill up space. She offers insights into worlds which we only think we know. I think most of us have feared making a mistake and having it have an enormous impact on our lives. The story also gives us some idea of what it must be like to be a celebrity and delves into the relationship between sisters and the roles they adopt for each other.

I kept a pen and paper handy - some of her writing contains a scattering of vocabulary words I should probably know (being a bookworm) but need to lookup. Entertaining but has some depth. What most authors try for and she actually does with this book. I will definitely read more of her work.
