I read it - it's really interesting and an original topic but I wasn't so crazy about the style. It was sort of like diary form of the 3 main characters but there was barely any conversation in the book more thoughts. I would still recommend it but just sayin'...

I read it and hated it. It REALLY leaves you hanging. I was also really annoyed at the husband's reaction when his wife - who works full time while he learns - bought some takeout for Shabbos.

I took that as yet another thing he had to sacrifice for the job he didn't want her to have.

I really disliked it. The characters were very immature and the whole plot was ridiculous.

I liked chasing illusions.

I like reading about emotions (except for evil). there was a lot of that there. perfect for me. I also liked the way it ended, not as a happy forever and ever, but in the process

Three characters? How innovative! I thought the formula was always four friends, maybe for the four winds...
