Book Description

Publication Date: 18 Feb 2010

Exactly ten days after I'd come back to care for my dad, it occurred to me that I had turned into a housewife. Not just any housewife. My mother. Kill me now…

Meredith does things for other people. She irons clothes for her boyfriend, she attends her ex-best friend's horrendous hen party for her brother (who's about to marry the girl) and she moves back to her parents' house to look after her dad when his leg is broken. She's a good girl and that matters.

But when she gets back home, all is not as Meredith remembered. Especially Scott, that geeky teenager from her old class at school. He's definitely different now. And so, it seems, is she. One by one, her family and old friends start to tell her some home truths and Meredith begins to realise she's not so perfect after all.

Maybe it is time she stopped being everyone else's girl and started living for herself…

5.0 out of 5 stars great voice, humorous yet touching 19 Jan 2007
By LaMonita - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I read this one before her debut novel, English as a Second Language, and though both are good, this one surpasses her first. Ms. Crane really brings out the characters and fleshes out the story more in the this one, they are far more believable and less part of the background. Both of her heroines have been flawed (aren't we all), but I found Merediths voice to be more substantial, and her family is a riot. Having gone through the similar experience of moving home after college, I can say that I empathized with everything she was going through trying to fit back into a life she had mostly outgrown, and in the end, accepts in a new way. I think Ms. Crane's writing will just get better and better, her sense of humor is fantastic, laugh out loud funny, and her stories are deeper than what is seen on surface. Her grasp of the trials and tribulations of friendship is very sharp. Looking forward to Frenemies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hot and Insightful 16 Nov 2005
By SailorLawyer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Megan Crane is a great novelist. I found this book to be an unexpectedly compelling read (unexpectedly because I'd never heard of Megan Crane and wasn't expecting much.) The character development here is exquisite and--in a departure from most chick lit--100% organic. These aren't prepackaged stereotypes for your absent-minded pool-side consumption. The first person narration skillfully weaves a tale from the slightly flawed, somewhat narrow viewpoint of the heroine while the reader has the delight (and the trauma) of watching her grow. The events are satisfying but realistic--no perfect, candy-coated solutions here--and so much better for it. This book is funny and wry and very observant. Certain lines, universal truths that I'm not sure anyone has ever put into words before, will never leave me. And The Guy is INCREDIBLY HOT!

1.0 out of 5 stars Not Great 30 Mar 2010

I became a fan of Megan Crane's " Frenemies" and promptly bought this book on my Kindle.

I now wish I had just passed on it.

SPOILERS SPOILER SPOILERS

The main character Meredith McKay has created a lifestyle for herself with her boyfriend of many years away from her crazy family.

When her father has a car accident that happens the same day that her mother has planned her vacation her family talks her into staying and taking care of him (apparently getting a nurse was out of the question and also the mother kind of a jerk for still going on vacation but there are some issues between the parents that Crane just glosses over).

Meredith back at home finally confronts her former best friend about to be sister in law about how mean she was in high school but then Meredith gets an eye opener when she gets confronted about the fact that she wasn't nice either and was also a jerk to everyone since then in several ways (seriously this is why she did not speak to her best friend for 10 years so so dumb).

Also while home Meredith just has to have an affair with the boy she used to torture and falls in love with him while ignoring the fact she has a boyfriend (also dont see what was so appealing about the new guy).

I think that is where Meredith lost me you don't get a good reason for why she threw away her best friend, her new boyfriend and then she moves back home to become a wedding planner. Yes you read that right.

Really wish I had passed on this novel, really not that great.
