Ralph's Party

Reviews
Was keen to read the rerelease of Lisa Jewell’s first book to compare with her more recent publications.
I’m glad she kept going and much prefer her later topics.
Ralph’s Party definitely fits into the 1990’s Chick Lit category.
An easy read followed the romances of the Almanac Road residents.
Sometime’s Funny, Sometime’s Sad.
Ralph won and Smith poor fella got a very public shaming.
Many thanks to Penguin and Readinggroups.org for sending us copies
Mixed reviews from our book club. Opinions differed about whether the characters were likeable. On balance, probably not, but Ralph and Jem seemed to be the most agreeable. We felt there was too much reference to casual drug taking although that did lead to some interesting discussions in our group. There wasn't as much of a plot as we would have liked and we generally agreed we prefer Lisa Jewell's later books.
