An Almost Perfect Moment: A Novel (2005) - Plot & Excerpts

Let's see, as a 40 year old Southern Baptist who knew a handful of Jewish and Catholic girls growing up, I enjoyed the banter in this book. It's a coming of age book at its core, with every character experiencing some level of self-discovery. I laughed out loud at The Girls, and cringed with the unfortunate recollection of inexperienced fumbling around with boys and trying to figure out friendships. I could've stayed in the living room eavesdropping during mah-jongg (?) games and done without the John, Joanne and Beth tangents. Maybe that's why the ending worked out the way it did...

What do You think about An Almost Perfect Moment: A Novel (2005)?

I feel this book is somewhere between 3 and 4 stars, but because it was such a pleasure to read I gave it four.Although essentially sad and serious the book is written with such a beautiful and sharp sense of humour that you don't want it to end. Themes of loneliness, religion, love, death and teenage pregnancy are cleverly interwoven.However the book leaves quite a few loose ends, and some of the stories seem not relevant to each other, but on the other hand, maybe that's what makes it similar to real life.
