I keep hoping back to this one and there was something about a scandal in or around King City. I have a single memory of King City and it is actually my Mum's. She was driving on a highway through King City and pretty much everyone was speeding, so the highway patrol guy, in his infinite wisdom, pulled no body over, he just got some kind of public address system out and yelled "S-L-O-W... D-O-W-N!!!" and the odd things is? People did!

I know we read more this week, chapter seven, I think and Barbara had to get Rosemary to an annoying bridal shower and Rosemary behaved surprised and it was WEIRD, they hid her presents in the house next to alarm clocks and she had to find the alarm clocks, then the gift then open it in some front area, I guess. Barbara is getting a good view so she might be burnt out on the idea of falling in love after all this broo ha!

Chapter 5: And wow! Gramma and Aunt Josie show up to enhance the bitching and gossiping about people, sheesh! I feel like I'm witnessing the last left overs of the Victorian era for the 50's here, somehow. Lots of the comments sound about as mean and weird as some of the stuff in Montgomery's books or even Edith Wharton, egad!

Reading with a friend now.

Chapter Four and the socialite sleazy parents keep bitching about everyone including the kids. Barbara keeps wondering when she will fall in love and what it will be like. Still a very fun book so far.

Had to find another copy. Never read Emily Davis so that will be fun for both of us.

Looking forward to getting back to this and seeing how the sisters fare, may be we'll meet the groom! He did well enough with the dad and all. (Maybe he loves cigars too?)

The dad has a lot of stogies...

Chapter Three and the dad character is still being a wacked out fool throwing all the cliche's over young marriage and getting it all wrong and exaggerating and being useless, etc. But then it kinda works out so far....

Flipping through this again and I find it spooky that it was on the best seller list and the book that replaced it was Silent Spring. That is just spooooky!

Chspter Two seemed to continue a trend of the parents gossiping like mad things about the kids and the neighbours, huh! And Barbara is keeping a secret about her sister, I think the name was Rosemary, and someone getting married.

Got started last night, not sure what all is going on but the thoughtful ideals of life are contemplated which is definitely enjoyable, we'll see about more soon.

Grabbed a fistful of the authors books a while back and may decide on this next. Hopefully the protagonist will be as interesting as Shelley!

Late teens and twenties chapters and it continues to be silly and get sillier, something about Columbus being from somewhere far far away from where he was or came from.

Gooooooooooooooooood book!
