michellebookaddict 's review for:
Sushi for Beginners
by Marian Keyes
Too many character pov. Now this book would have been a good Brit-chick-lit. But the beginning was slow. And the female characters weren't likeable. So of course this has the predictable happy ending to make up for all this.
Then Keys had to add a bunch of racial and sexist stereotypes. Lisa thinking mother is rasist to her black husband. Lisa and her prejudice towards the Irish. Ashling and her stereotype need to "fix" everybody - putting her needs last. Her Marry Popin's purse. Please. Can any single girl tell me she has all these items in their purse? And a beat up old one at that? Then there's Clodagh. So she wasn't happy about being a stay at home mom. And ok, so she was jealous that her husband had this freedom to go on far away business trips. Instead of speaking out about this she lashes out on both husband Dylan and her innocent two kids.
Also she's got it wrong about American's not being party hard drinkers. Key's stereotype that New Yorker's thinking that Londoners drink too much? Please. New York is known (thanks to Sex and the City) to be the center of the party. (Have family from there so this is word of mouth). But even Los Angeles, San Diego and San Fransiscans can party like no one's business - been and lived at these popular spots
