[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Winter Street by Elin Hilderbrand as recommended on here for a holiday read[/quote] I am so TIRED of her and her same formulaic writing. If she weren't retiring I would definitely recommend a new editor. So many misspellings and name issues. It's really quite amazing that she has been as successful as she has been. Rant over. That being said I would recommend Tom River by Ann Patchett but you have to get past chapter 4. IT IS SO GOOD.[/quote] PP here. I have read three Elin books ever, so I'm not a rabid fan. I do think she's formulaic, but so are other similar writers (Sophie Kinsella, Jennifer Weiner, etc.), but that's also what makes them "comfort reads." You know what you're going to get. It isn't going to be great, but hopefully it won't be bad. Winter Street was fine, but I didn't like the characters enough to want to read all four of them. And do you mean Tom Lake? I loved that book![/quote]
