Dune Road

This was not as good as I hoped, or expected.
The book was VERY predictable. The characters had a lot of potential but they fell short of making me interested in their lives. I think that Green tried to cram too many story lines into one book, where this could have been 2 distinct stories.
This book follows a newly divorced woman who is trying to navigate living as a single mom in a ritzy beach town. We meet quirky neighbors, a yoga studio owner, owners of a hot restaurant in town, a couple whom she is friends with that might lose it all due to the economy, a hot novel writer, her ex-husband... the list goes on and on. The main character finds out about family members she didn't know she has. It is all too much for one book.
I think I might have enjoyed it, if I was looking for a book to read on a vacation. It was not the best book I have read by Green, but I do plan on reading more of her work.
