The Aloha Quilt



**1/2
{L} {SM} {BSt}
PG (13?)
Not Recommend

While I loved the setting of this book (it took me back to our trip to Hawaii last year) and the hawaiian quilt culture/history in it, there was swearing {L}(including the name of the Lord in vain) and the focus of the book was the main character divorcing her husband because he cheated on her.  So there is a lot of talk about all the things that come with that {SM}.  There's also a bit of a backstory involving one of the other main characters {BSt}.

This is the first book of Jennifer Chiaverini that I have read.  I tried reading one of her historical fiction about the civil war and just couldn't get into it...which is strange because I usually love books like that.  I don't think I will read any more of hers since it seemed she was very comfortable with swearing.  If it were just the subject matter I might have tried a different one but...oh well.

  1. I never tried to read this one. But, as you know, for all her popularity, and the fact that I liked her in person, her books did not grab me.
