Narrative During Books Alphabet Weekends
Natalie and Tom have been best friends forever, but Tom wants them to be much more. When Natalie's longtime boyfriend walks out on her just when she thinks he's going to propose, Tom offers her a different and wildly romantic proposition. He suggests that they spend twenty-six weekends together, indulging in twenty-six different activities from A to Z, and at the end of that time Tom's convinced they'll be madly in love. Natalie, however, is not so sure. As Natalie's touring the alphabet with Tom, her mother's going through her own romantic crisis—while Tom's unhappily married sister-in-law, Lucy, struggles with temptation. And over the course of six amazing months, three generations of passionate dreamers are going to discover that, no matter how clever they are, love—and life—is never as easy as A, B, C . . .

I have actually read this before, but didn't remember until I was a good chunk of the way through. I guess that sort of sums of the book: unremarkable. Two friends (one with different intentions) agree to spend 26 weekends doing an activity together each week, tied in with the letter of the alphabet, as a way to help the woman move on from a painful break-up. Predictably, it gravitates into a love story.It was fine, it passed the time. I actively enjoyed Noble's 'The Reading Group', but herPredictable plot, garbage characters, I can honestly say I liked no one in this book. I think Noble is a mediocre author at best. If you light like fluff novels with badly executed romances, then you'd love this book. But I really detested it.
This is just what I needed after the dark zombie post-apoc and disappointing Sookie Stackhouse this week. It brightened up my reading life a whole lot.I picked this book up at the Empire State Book Festival, after hearing the author speak at a panel about "Chick Lit." Her fellow authors described her books as funny and witty, and the back cover blurb made it sound like this book would go a long way toward filling the Olivia Goldsmith-shaped hole on my shelves.And, while I think it's unfair to
This book on the surface was about two best friends trying out dating to see if there was chemistry between them. However as I read farther into the book, it was about all types of relationships. While best friends Tom and Natalie are working their way through alphabet themed dates, his brother and sister-in-law are dealing with marital problems in the form of a lost job, lost communication, and infidelity. Natalie's mother is going through clinical depression and no one in her family knows what
I picked this book because I needed a pick-me-up after reading something pretty depressing. I expected it to be pretty fluffy, but the other two love stories examined make the book a little more thought provoking. It's not just two made-for-eachother people FINALLY getting together, it's also about the disintegration of love for one couple, and how love changes for another. I admit, the story arc about the infidelity was interesting, moving and thought provoking, but ultimately depressing. I
I loved the concept of this book- that each chapter was based on each letter of the alphabet.
2.5 StarsThe first part of this book was quite tedious and I actually had to put it down for a week and come back to it. I thought it would be lighter and more fun, but I found the whole thing rather depressing. With a romantic story like this, it is a foregone conclusion that the romantic leads will end up together; so the journey had better be interesting. I think the author tried to achieve this by contrasting the main relationship of Natalie and Tom and their Alphabet dates with the trouble
