I can't recall who recommended this novel, but I know it's been on my Amazon wish list for ages. When I saw it was available from the library, I decided to give it a try. While it held my interest throughout because I wanted to know how it ended...... it was not the greatest book I've read recently. But it is decent chick lit.
The story revolves around several couples over many years. At first, there appears to be no connection between them, but soon you can figure out what ties them together. There's also the story of Frances Gerety, the real-life woman who worked for an ad agency and wrote the line "A Diamond is Forever". Her story is quite interesting and she certainly was a successful career woman at a time that there weren't many others.
The writing is good but the book definitely needed more editing. The author had done a lot of research about times and places, and she seemed to want to include everything she'd learned into the book. It could have been reduced by at least 25% and been a better book. - June
