Swell by Jill Eisenstadt
2.0
Swell was an easy read. It's the book you want to bring to a beach with you to read while drinking a margarita.
As I just tried writing a synopsis of the plot, I realized there is not much more to the story than the summary written on the front flap. The storyline had me captivated for the most part- it followed the Glassmans, an old lady Rose, and the next door neighbor firefighter Tim. The reason for the low rating is that every plotline in the book has a boring, confusing ending. It was as if Jill Eisenstadt had an hour to write off the characters' stories and she panicked, wrote very undetailed and vague resolutions, and called it a book.
I was disappointed because Swell sounded promising and funny. It came up short.
