hannacolm 's review for:

Tom Lake by Ann Patchett
2.75
lighthearted medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

The story within a story is the only thing that gives this novel depth, and it’s not deep enough. Boring at times; redeemed only by Meryl Streep’s dramatization on audiobook.
