I'm hoping to see the movie, too, but also not sure if I can drag my husband there.sunflowerchildehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15209334933886664383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-22221697899178732102009-08-26T15:01:04.923-04:002009-08-26T15:01:04.923-04:00I read it... hated the ending.

There is so much at stake, so much to discuss ... this book was a great read, the kind you could enjoy more than once. <br /><br />It's interesting that you point out Sara's relentless drive to protect her oldest daughter at all costs. I've often felt weaker, or perhaps less focused, or just less than other women who've pursued parenthood after IF at all costs. But while reading this book I remember thinking Sara was making mistakes because she was not able to stop, look around, and appreciate the whole (family) picture. <br /><br />I guess we all do the best we can, right? :-)Irish Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13222992447645337845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-85321504609140737772009-08-25T21:30:17.741-04:002009-08-25T21:30:17.741-04:00This book was a very intriguing read for me.

I haven't seen the movie - so I don't know if I would have liked their ending better or not. I am trying to figure out how Cameron Diaz though is old enough to be a mom of 3 teenagers? Totally off topic - just hard to compete with the hollywood version of "middle-aged" women.<br /><br />I really liked Jesse also. :0)JuliaShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10668995954240697998noreply@blogger.com
