Another rainy Sunday here in northern NH. Good! I can curl up with a book and not feel guilty!
I didn't even finish it but skipped ahead and read the last chapter. I'm glad I did that!
Now, this book was great! It is light hearted and serious at the same time. Charley is Charlotte Webb and she writes a fluff column for a Miami newspaper. A woman on death row contacts her to write a book about her crime.
The writing is fast paced and I was never bored.
I've read other Anita Shreve books and loved them but this was one I just could not get into. I honestly didn't like any of the characters and had a hard time feeling empathy for them. It is well written but...

Testimony is a different kind of read. I did like the book although I didn't like the way it was written in bits and pieces of testimony. I would have preferred a continued story.
Now Charley's Web I really liked. I'm a fan of Joy Fielding and have read many of hers. Glad you enjoyed it. Hope you're having a wonderful Sunday.
I am looking forward to reading both these books you mention. I'm sorry Testimony didn't work out for you. It'll be interesting to see what I think when I get to it. I enjoyed the one Anita Shreve book I read.
Don't feel bad as I didn't really care for this book as well.
