The Girl Who Chased the Moon

The Girl Who Chased the Moon, Sarah Addison Allen, 2010, Bantam Books. Genre: Chick Lit. 269 pages. Finished 7/5/12.

LesOpinion: Sarah Addison Allen mistakes elements of magical realism for weighty insight. While this novel pretends to have Big Things to say, it doesn't quite measure up. Still, it was a fast read and, while aimed at a female audience, is not insulting in the way of the lady novels of Elizabeth Adler or Evelyn Anthony.

Circumstances under which I would recommend this book: It's going to be a long flight, and you want to keep the halitosis-plagued guy next to you from yapping the whole time.
