Query: Sue Miller channels Jodi Picoult

Sue Miller can write, and has proven that in many other books. This one, though, was excruciatingly bad. It felt like she wanted to be Jodi Picoult. The minutiae, the contrived personalities, the over-the-top characters disguised under a thin veneer of normalcy... This is my least favorite books of hers. It is light reading, but it has certainly left me wishing for more.
