Query: This book was VERY poorly written

I was really disappointed by this book--it is so poorly written and the characters lack substance and the story is pathetic. I had to read it for my book club and was disappointed we chose such a weak selection. The storyline is modest, at best. The main female character in the book only sees her life as being complete if she has a man in it. She's hooked up with a cheating veterinarian and then winds up with a newspaper editor who makes her iced tea. The relationship is shallow, poorly developed and basic. A dumb book!
