Book: Open House by Elizabeth Berg

This was an Oprah's Book Club book.

While predictable, it was fun to read, with good dialogue and credible characters.

Sam's husband leaves her and she is heartbroken. She has an adolescent son, a perky mother, a good friend....

"I sigh, lean back in my chair, close my eyes. How come Rita gets such a good life and I get such a crummy one? ....How come Rita's husband adores her, sits lazily in his char watching her, laughing at all her jokes?"

Sam takes in boarders to earn extra income. She thinks a lot and works through what her marriage was and what happened. She continues with all the daily stuff that needs doing...

If you like relationship books...need a good zuzu book that you can read in a night or weekend, this will probably suit.
