Nothing was special, nothing was important, everything was expected, an entitlement, ordinary. I can't wait to hear the book and see what excitement ensues that gets her interested in life!!<br /><br />jcsites2002 at hotmail dot comDollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08075288193795353822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2622828765030571851.post-42827549611935297102011-08-25T17:51:38.262-04:002011-08-25T17:51:38.262-04:00Caroline sounds like a stuck up, self absorbed soc...Caroline sounds like a stuck up, self absorbed socialite & snob!<br />It's obvious she has no enthusiasm for Georgina's love for horseback riding. A child can sense when their parent(s) is not excited or supportive of their interests and activities. <br /><br />I played tennis in sophomore year in HS. It was very competitive. Hence I enjoy tennis, and other sports, for leisure.<br /><br />Madeline's excitement and enthusiasm for this book shines through shows in this video. She's so cute, especially when she says "wicked man."<br /><br />My favorite Wickham book was "The Wedding Girl."<br /><br />I know this is not a "Sophie Kinsella" contest, but I have to share that I absolutely loved, couldn't put down "Remember Me" by Kinsella.<br /><br />E: amyrbromberg@gmail.comAmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14652631069138068976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2622828765030571851.post-70354617235533555192011-08-24T21:41:29.027-04:002011-08-24T21:41:29.027-04:00Eeep!

I can sense a scene where her husband or daughter (I can only hope!)or even a woman in attendance who perhaps has much less than Caroline will put her in her place in front of all of the other couples in attendance.<br /><br />My favorite Wickham story is Sleeping Arrangements. I love how Chloe and Hugh are thrown together and are forced to reconcile their feelings for their partners as well as resolve their feelings for each other.DDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10759413866522967992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2622828765030571851.post-28216742588000310142011-08-23T22:54:29.608-04:002011-08-23T22:54:29.608-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.DDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10759413866522967992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2622828765030571851.post-73021589668650753902011-08-23T14:54:19.436-04:002011-08-23T14:54:19.436-04:00It sounds like a fun book in which tennis ends up ...It sounds like a fun book in which tennis ends up being secondary. A romp of the shallow rich with schemes and extortion. I would love to read it.
