rating:
another recommendation from my sister. i started reading this back in march, but i had to set it aside for school, etc. it's about cornelia and clare. cornelia meets the man of her dreams who might not be the man of her dreams after all, and clare's mother is going crazy and clare, at age 11, is trying to keep everything together. the story is told in alternating chapters from each character's viewpoint. the two finally meet when cornelia's dream man turns out to be clare's father, to whom clare turns when her mother disappears. i remember thinking that the first third of it was a little too quippy, but once the stories intersected i really liked it. lots of twists and turns but it ends up sort of just where it should, i think, and without being saccharine. don't pay attention to the robots; this rating is totally arbitrary since i read the first hundred pages of this book over two months ago.
