Magnolia Wednesdays Audiobook

" I wanted a fun, easy read but even with that I stuggled with the absurdity of the story line. The time line seemed really unbalanced, huge gaps and assumptions. At times predictable and other times over the top. Just really disappointed. "

" An enjoyable summer read with an interesting representation of suburban life from an uppity New Yorker who returns home. Somewhat predictable, but pleasant "

" Entertaining, summer type of read. "

" Wanted to like this novel and to be able to recommend as a lighter read for book club, but alas this will not do. Vivi is a smart reporter in NYC until she gets shot on a story. Humiliated as her shooting hits the net and after learning she is being replaced at work, she quits her job. She decides to return home to a sister in the South whom she no longer knows. And there she sees the lives of suburban minivan moms and writes up snotty articles making fun of their lifestyles. So, she is living in her sisters house--free, doesn't spend any time "working", she gets food prepared for her nightly and her room is cleaned, and she's pregnant (but reluctant to tell baby daddy)...I just never had empathy for Vivi, she could do so much more than be a selfish obtuse mooch. "

" I like the premise of this book, but the way the story was told kind of annoyed me by the end of it. It was very predictable, but a fun read overall. "

" Such a great book. Quick beach-y read with current day concerns about being an older single mom. "

" If I can't finish it, it only gets one star. It might have been better than that, but to be honest, I don't care. I'm about halfway through & the characters are pretty useless, boring & one-dimensional. The trajectory of the book is predictable. I'm pretty sure I have the whole "mystery" of JJ & Clay figured out (& if I don't, I don't care that I'm wrong). I'm just not interested in picking up the book up & read any further so I won't spend another moment trying to inspire myself when there are better books out there to read. "

" Loving what I'm reading thus far! Vivien, the heroine, has a stoic vulnerability that anyone can relate to. "

" This was fun, quick, chick-lit read. I loved the Vivian character and all her denial. I figured out the twist pretty early in the book but loved reading on to see if I was correct. "

" A fun read; the ending is a bit contrived. "

" This was a quick, fun read that I especially enjoyed because I live close to East Cobb, the setting of the story and can really relate. "

" Not a great read but I wouldn't abandon it! "

" Mostly fun, though I had a bit of an issue with the Angela/Fangie-James dynamic. "

" A great summer read. Likable characters with a fun, though somewhat predictable, storyline. Enjoyable chic lit. "

" Even though I thought that I had figured out the mystery ( and I did), I kept reading to see if I was correct.I thought the book started out slow but got better in the second half. It was enjoyable,easy read. "

" This is a light and easy ready. It is set in east Cobb. As an Atlanta metro resident, I liked a reading a book with places, streets, etc. that I can relate too. Because of the light nature of the book, I found it a good distraction for a vacation read and stress from. Predictable and a bit cliche. "

" I was pleasantly surprised by this book. It was a bit of a slow start for me, but it turned out to be a really good book. I've been having a lot of luck lately finding books that have surprised me by being as good as they have been. "

" Good story, but sometimes I had to put the book down because I just didnt like Vivian -sometimes must be hormones "

" Total chick lit Southern style. Nothing spectacular and definitely predictable but a good summer read none the less. Take this one to the beach or the pool and enjoy. "

" I read this book not knowing much more than the back cover summarization. I loved it! I wouldn't want to give away anymore than that, but its WELL worth the read! Wendy Wax is a great author. "

" I really really liked it. This was the second book that I have read by Wendy Wax and I enjoyed both very much. I would definitely recommend this book "

" If you are a mom in atlanta this is the a great read.She knows her east cobb moms. This from someone who just got rid of her sticker plastered vehicle. "

" First book I've read by this author. I enjoyed it! "

" Very fun. Kept me engaged. I totally want to strangle the protagonist a few times, but a satisfying ending. "

" This was a good book and will try another one of Wendy Wax's books. "

" So, I don't usually do chick lit (or I like to think that I don't), but this book was very well-written, relatable, and funny. Even my husband wants to read it after I peppered him with amusing quotes as I read the book. Very entertaining. "

" This was a cute book. Predictable--in more ways than one--but a fun, easy, chick-lit read. The characters were well done--even the supporting characters were multi-dimensional. "
