My Thoughts:

I will say that I liked this novel.  I felt that there were some great moments but I occasionally found myself losing interest.  I loved how she contrasted the characters of Ruth and Little Dave with the Hollywood actors that appeared on the Next Best Thing.  The author in subtle ways compared the glamour the actors to everyday norms.  Jennifer wrote this novel during time of developing The State of Georgia.  I wondered how much of her experience might have made it into the novel.  Overall this novel is enjoyable and I loved the ending!
