Query: A light read, nothing more

This book tackles some pretty heavy subjects -- illusion vs. reality, love vs. passion, the enduring nature of friendship. But it handles them in a rather superficial way. I know women who have dealt with the issues Alice faces, yet I never felt she was a flesh and blood woman. Likewise Joe really never came to life for me. And I wish the author had actually shared more of Rachel Danbury's life story and work with us. This feels like junk food. It's enjoyable while it lasts, but it doesn't stick with you.
