On a surface level, this is an elegant comedy of manners; well-to-do Manhattan Jewish culture is invoked down to the last bagel, each buttery babke lovingly described. Molly herself was a magazine stylist, and the descriptions are lush - her tall blue hydrangeas in just the right vase, a tour of her upscale lingerie drawer. A fun peek for those of us who are more LL Bean and Bendels, more Costco than Zabars. (When I lived in Manhattan, I could never figure out how that social strata seemed to know all the rules, all played out with perfunctory kisses and hugs.) Molly, hailing from Chicago, is somewhat of an outsider to all this, learning the rules through marrying Barry, an East Side plastic surgeon. He is my favorite character - superficial but aware of it, charming and self-centered, occasionally atoning for his character, adoring Molly while he sleeps with everyone in sight, all orchestrated by his perfectly coiffed, manicured mother.Was there ever a nastier mother-in-law? Not accidentally, she is named Kitty. Watch out for her claws.
These characters will stay with you - and you'll have some great laughs, too. My personal favorite was the newcomer to The Duration, an admissions officer from Princeton, gunned down by the deranged parent of a spurned applicant. Sally's writing is witty and wise.

The synopsis intrigued me so I bought the book on kindle.
It was interesting from the beginning but part-way through, I realized: I hated "closing" the book for work, errands or whatever. Her characters are well fleshed and believable and her writing style so fluid and enjoyable. Another author could have made this story too cutesy and glib, but Ms. Koslow did an excellent job of creating a wonderful adult story that touches your heart deeply without the schmaltz.
Kudos, author!
