I'd been hearing a lot about this book, and I finally decided to check it out after agent Rachelle Gardner recommended it on her blog. I'm in a "writing circle" (for 6 years) and so I figured I'd be able to relate. The writing circle itself plays more of a minor role; I think that might be why I didn't like this novel more -- I expected more writing circle and writing talk and less individual story lines (of which there were many since the chapters shift from different POV). One of the characters (Gillian) is completely unlikable, which is fine, except that the ending and resolution (and I'm not sure that's the best word) involved too much of the spotlight being shone on her. That said, the book is well written and the story lines ring true. The parts with the writing circle were accurate, in my experience, so I think writers, especially, might enjoy checking out this book.
