Review: Walk on the Wilder Side

The Wilder Widows: Walk on the Wilder Side
by Katherine Hastings

Someone reviewed this book poorly, saying it was just like the previous one. Not true!  I didn't find that to be true at all, and I very much enjoyed the adventures of the four fast friends in pursuit of a bucket list trip for each of them in turn.  Only one of the adventures seemed a little bit predictable near the end, but I have no complaints. About that.

But, oh! As much as I want to recommend this with all my heart, and I do recommend it highly...but only to the stoic person who can put up with a near-endless inner dialog of soppy sentimentality. I've complained about this before and here it is again. A husband is not just a husband--gotta love 'em--he's the greatest husband ever created and so very, very loving and thoughtful and brings her to completeness and she's so very, very, very happy and her life is so wonderful and--

Well, that goes on. On various topics, like friendship, romance, love, spouses, children. I was listening to this on audiobook, and even then I had to skip forward a time or two when one of the ladies went into an endless monologue about how great something was.

What I wouldn't give for an editor.
