One of the things I love most about literature is the suspension of disbelief thing. Honestly. I mean - a book about Nordic god of lying who suddenly decides to work as a paid "dirty work" guy for Christian angels? I am hooked. This book however proved a lot tougher as far as suspension of disbelief goes. It started with the blurb. The blurb actually told me the book was funny. I should have known better then. And after that it only got worse. I mean I did not expect Crime and Punishment. I did not expect Pride and prejudice. All I wanted was something warm, something to laugh about so I could get myself through a particularly nasty cold/flu case. And the book failed miserably. The setup had its potential, which makes it even more sad. I am sorry, but it is not even remotely funny for me. I smiled out of politeness a few times, because I could see how the author was trying, and trying HARD. Well, I thought - maybe the love story proves a bit better. Yet again I failed to suspend my disbelief. I did not expect a deep analysis of complexity of human relationships. All I wanted was a fully predictable happy end with likeable characters to get me through a particularly nasty... Long story short - another failure. I mean this is to be a top-notch lawyer, best of her class, three prizes and full equity partnership in a top firm? How did she even get through law school is beyond me, she is such a crybaby and silly too. She handles media with a complete lack of confidence or intelligence. This from a woman who got to the top of law establishment? I don't buy it. Don't even get me started on likeability thing. Most of the time I just wanted to shake her, she is so annoying, arrogant and well, unintelligent. The male lead is so cliche it hurts even in a book of this kind. And I give it to the author - the ending was fully predictable, just as I expected. The book had its potential to get beyond the superficial kind of chick lit, but it just did not work. The choice Sam makes could be more thoughtful - why should choosing between housekeeping and law be considered antifeminist? Feminism is about CHOICE. Being a housekeeper is a full time job that requires flexibility, planning, diplomacy and practical skill (and I'm not even including cooking). Why should it be looked down upon by lawyers? The perfect lady of the house in 10 rooms mansion could be just as much of a stressed, lonely perfectionist as a top lawyer working 24/7. And so on, and so on. But all that was carefully omitted by author.
