24-Karat Kids: A Novel ReviewI rely heavily on Amazon Reader reviews to plan my reading list, but I'm going to respectfully disagree on this.
Here's what I think happened: Judy Goldstein read "The Devil Wears Prada" and "The Nanny Diaries" and said "Hey kids ! Let's re-write these books but from a pediatrician's point of view" Then she thought of every funny case she's ever seen and exaggerated it, and changed the names. Then she thought of some ridiculous plot that allowed her to show off her extensive knowledge of fancy boutiques on the Hamptons.
Now I have nothing against good chick-lit, but there was NOTHING to this book. The heroine was *so* perfect, I found her unbelievable. Actually Goldstein seemed afraid to include any characters that weren't basically amiable (Ira goes on gambling sponsored coke binges? How eccentric!) Even the bird is quirky.
There are so many random threads to this book: the receptionist has chemo and loses her hair, well obviously then she's going to focus all her attention on her opera for kids CD, and never mention the cancer again. Someone suggests Shelley loses a few pounds and POOF ! she goes on a diet and she loses 30 pounds and that is that. Oh Fran Templar is at a party? Let's run around looking for her and then drop it all of a sudden because we remember that she's not actually a character in this book.
Usually I'll give any book 100 pages, and if I don't like it, I'll put it down guilt-free. However I felt compelled to finish 24 Karat kids simply so I could write this review. I'm not going to ruin the highly predictable ending but it seemed to me like the author looked at the book, said "Ooh look 200 pages, I'm done now!" and typed a final 3 page chapter that tied everything up.24-Karat Kids: A Novel Overview
