Hmmm. I really want to see the movie, which I'd heard great things about. This book didn't connect strongly for me. The book club format was an interesting way to get to know Jocelyn, Sylvia, Allegra, Bernadette, Prudie, and Grigg. But just as I was getting to know a character well, the story switched to a different line. It was kind of disconcerting. And I thought the women were a little snotty. Anyhow, it did make me want to re-read Austen's works, though I'm definitely not in love with them the way these characters are!
From my notes:
Jocelyn - dogs
Sylvia - Daniel
Allegra - Corrine
Prudie - French
Grigg - SciFi
Bernadette - talker
