terrific character study
9 Dec 2006
Format:Paperback
Rosie is bored with her job, her marriage is blah, her kids take her for granted, and her social life is a big fat zero, but though she recognizes her ennui, she has no plans to change her lifestyle even if alluring and fascinating sound better than being called a "comfortable chair". Though everyone knows they can depend on pal Rosie, the most amenable soul on the planet, she wonders what happened to her needs as she is forty-four with no life.
She decides to go for a radical makeover starting with her hair and clothing. She begins to look closely at what she wants from life including her husband, who seems to be going through the motions of a relationship. Rosie begins to ponder whether she needs a radical makeover of her marriage though the thought frightens her as she rests in her comfort zone; still she wonders if it is too late to fix things as both of them are in a rut. She considers ending her marriage as a key step if she is going to have any chance at happiness.
Rosie is a terrific protagonist who feels a need to be more than Miss Dependable Congeniality as she does nothing for herself while always doing what others ask of her. The comfortable doormat encouraged by friend PJ finally realizes if she fails to change things soon, her life will be wasted. Readers will appreciate the heroine as she learns that one must set aside some quality time for him or herself even while carrying out responsibilities.
