I generally like books by Barbara Delinsky, but I just couldn't get into this one. I found the whole situation very petty and sad--the women and men were all gossiping about the young widow on their street and who could have fathered the baby she is carrying. The dysfunctional families portrayed were sad and depressing, as were the women trying to figure out which of their husbands had fathered the widow's baby. A real downer, full of deceit, jealousy, and hatred.
