I’m Not Julia Roberts by Laura Ruby
This is a set of interconnected stories of the ex-wives and new wives of a set of men. Each vignette offers a glimpse at the life of a blended family. The title comes from Lu’s post, which got her banned from secondwivesspeakeasy.com, complaining that Stepmom is not a realistic portrait of a blended family.
This was humorous at times, but because the narratives shift in each chapter/short story, I was left feeling dissatisfied by the entire book, asking myself – what’s the point?
