2016 Reading Challenge: An Oprah Book Club Book

Open House: by Elizabeth Berg

My rating: 1 of 5 stars


How in the world did anyone like this book?

I picked it for a reading challenge for a "book from Oprah's Book Club" and now rather wish I didn't. I found the main character of Sam annoying, self-obsessed, prone to flights of fancy only to become annoyed when those fantasies proved wrong, and down right in need of a good slap upside the head.

Half way through the audiobook I found myself actually saying "are you still yammering on about that?" Then there was the whole mini scene of she looks up Martha Stewart's phone number, calls and leaves a message for her and Martha calls her back... and they end up chatting! Seriously?!?!?!?

1 star is rather generous and most of that is for the actress who read it. Save your time, save your sanity and don't bother with this one.
