None of the characters were particularly likable or believable, and it didn't make for a good farce either (if that was indeed the intent I have no clue). I think it was trying for light and fluffy - traits that I don't mind in books sometimes I even seek out light and fluffy books! However, this particular book was just dumb.

It seemed like the author didn't know where to take the plot or care about the pacing because the majority of the book was conversations between Henry and either his ex-wife or his ex-stepdaughter. Meanwhile, Henry recognizes his ex-wife's daughter (Henry's ex-stepdaughter from about 25 years ago) Thalia from a salon he frequents and soon has reestablished a relationship with her, recognizing that he wasn't really around for any of the 'hard' parts of raising her, and he becomes Thalia's new confidant as she tries to further her acting career. Henry's a middle-aged gay man whose ex-wife calls him hysterically one day because her new husband has died without naming her the primary beneficiary of his estate. It wasn't horrendous or completely unreadable, but it's also not a book worth reading or finishing. This book plodded along, going nowhere, mainly fueled by dialogue from characters I didn't care about, and I had to put it down before even making it halfway through.
