I did not love this one. The main character was a little too dumb and other characters were a bit too caricaturale. The thing with Tina is one example. The story line would have been stronger if she had been more developed as a chaarcter. Marian Keyes tackled it much better in [book:This Charming Man|2334751]. Lots of bodily functions and references to excretions. I mean, obviously they're part of life, but they appear often enough in this book that I noticed. Not sure I need a description of when a characters digs up his nose and wipes what he finds on his shirt, for example. Didn't seem to add much to the story. I started [book:Being Committed|33769] several times and could never get into it, so I'm concluding that Anna Maxted is not for me.
