"Bookends" is pretty typical Jane Green. Cath is our 31-year-old single, neurotic narrator who takes us through her fledging business enterprise and ensuing romance. At times though, you want to take Cath and shake her.
Cath had formed a close-knit group of friends at university: Josh, Eddie, Si, and the elusive, magical Portia.
In the present, Eddie has slipped out of the group, but Cath is still close with Josh, his wife Lucy, and Si. Portia did a bad, bad thing in university and she grew apart, yet comes back into their lives--sort of. I never knew what to think of her.
One thing in this book: everyone is "gorgeous." Josh, Si, Si's boyfriends, Portia, Ingrid the Swedish nanny, James the love interest, Elizabeth the almost-girlfriend of Josh who was the cause of the fallout with Portia. Cath is portrayed as chubby with bushy hair and Lucy relies on her personality to get by. However, everybody else is gorgeous.
At times "Bookends" is a page turner. At times it is frustrating. But all in all, it's a good read.
