Life After Life by Kate Atkinson (#2, Fiction)

I was really excited to read this book.  People had been talking about it for months, and I'd been searching the library for it every week until I gave in and just bought it.  For a long vacation this was at the top of the list and I couldn't wait.

I was disappointed.  It took me much longer to get pulled in to the story than I expected, and while I really like the idea of the "sliding doors" plot, it was pretty confusing.  That all being said, I still liked the book but I think my expectations were just way too high. 

And, of course somehow another book choice revolves around WWII, that theme seems to be the most popular in all my book choices lately.

Would I recommend it to a friend? Yes, most likely.  But mostly because I want to discuss with them all the things I'm still confused about!

3 out of 5.
