Goodnight Nobody (3)

Title: Goodnight Nobody
Author: Jennifer Weiner
Genre: Fiction

I suppose Jennifer Weiner's books are classified as chic-lit thought I've yet to find a true definition of that term. I've read all of her books at this point and have enjoyed them. They are quick reads (I finished this one in one day), the heroines are interesting if a little too low self-esteem for my taste. The problem I have with Goodnight Nobody is that I couldn't suspend disbelief for the two twist endings. Sometimes an author can convince me to ignore the impossible coincidences or late in the final act clues but I just couldn't do it in this book. Maybe it's because I'm not a huge mystery fan in general.

All in all not a bad read but I'd not be in a rush to read it again anytime soon and it won't be at the top of the list of books I recommend to others.
