Publisher's Summary:
Molly has arrived home from Vassar to reveal that she has an important announcement to make. Her mother, Suzanne, is convinced that Mollys news is history repeating herself and that shes about to become a 36-year-old grandmother. Suzannes mother, Ava, develops a case of impending great-grandmother fever - that is, when shes not spying on the new next-door neighbor, Buddy McKinley, who turns out to be a blast from her past.
Decades earlier, Buddy was the business partner of Avas late husband, as well as his best friend during the Vietnam War. Ava feels she has good reasons for hating Buddy she blames him for the fall of their business, an Irish pub that was a staple of the community. The loss not only destroyed her husband but also pushed her headfirst into the vodka bottle.
Suzanne eventually finds out that Buddy and Avas past goes back much further than either has admitted. She begins to wonder whether Ava truly hates Buddy, or whether her feelings are much more complicated, as are her own when Molly announces that shes not pregnant, but gay.
Based on the award-winning play, She Effin' Hates Me is about three women relearning to love one another for who they are and, more importantly, for who theyre not.
Critic Reviews:
Crack open Scarlett Savages novel and you will feel as though youre sitting in the living room of relatives you love...and yet somehow cant avoid when you desperately want to. The characters are so vibrant and the dialogue so funny, honest, and three-dimensional that its hard to believe this is fiction. Something remarkable happens as we follow three generations of strong women through a startling revelation that redefines the relationships between them all - all of a sudden, were not on the outside looking in. Weve become part of the family. (Jodi Picoult, New York Times best-selling author)
Members Reviews:
She hated him and I hated this book
The story is predictable, sappy sweet, and ultimately boring. Enduring love deserves a better context. The narrator was only average, although adept at distinguishing between characters. The characters themselves are like the story--unbelievable, sappy, boring.
Well-Executed, But Shallow and Predictable
I have to admit that I couldn't finish listening to this. The narration is very good, and I think that I will seek out this reader in other books. The writing is well-executed, but the actual story seems shallow and predictable. At first, I was attracted to the light, witty banter between the characters. Then I started to realize that I could predict what the characters were going to say next - and that all of the characters talked the same way (regardless of the voice that the narrator gave them.) Some people might see this as a light summer listen, but I really don't have the time for it.
3 generations of Mother/Daughter relationships
Nothing surprising in the story. If you like to be reminded of how well you do or do not deal with your own mother than this book is for you. The love story is only a sidebar to the main story of 3 generations of women dealing with their life issues.
Awesome!!
This was a great novel about three generations of women who all find their themselves together going through changes. It was wonderful and the narration was great as well.
Loved this story. Loved the presentation.
From start to finish I was hooked.
