Gotta Love It
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Jean Rubin's life is filled with the good, the bad and the ugly.She has good intentions and a big heart but when it comes down to principles, she stands firm. Between putting up with her under-achieving son, his pregnant spanish girlfriend, and her elderly parents; she is almost pushed to her limit.It's a good thing she has an understanding, sex-crazy doctor husband to bounce things off of. You'll enjoy the familiar sights and sounds of Scottsdale as you read through this book.
Saucy and pure entertainment
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Boomerang is a direct escape into the harried life of Jean Rubin, a Women's Studies instructor. Her elderly parents, doctor-husband, needy son and his pregnant girlfriend, colleagues and students, and socialite friends fill Jean's life to overflowing. Throw in a get-rich-quick scheme and two Scottsdale female friends-one an erotic artist and the other gorgeous and sexy-and you have a saucy and compelling novel. Jean works her way through professional, family, and social life predicaments with humor and verve. Boomerang begins where Marcia Fine's first novel, GOSSIP.COM, left off. Fine's descriptions of Phoenix, Scottsdale, Sedona, and the political/socialite Arizona life will amuse locals and engage general readers. Boomerang succeeds because it entertains and doesn't take its memorable characters too seriously. Great book for beach, airplane, or fireside reading.
First-rate humor!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
The beautiful, shiny people of Scottsdale receive another hilarious send-up by Marcia Fine (her first book, GOSSIP.COM, infiltrated the world of the fashionistas with a deft hand.)Jeanne, a part-time English professor, lives just on the outskirts of fabulous wealth, over-the-top parties and the right zip code. Fortunately, she has generous friends who invite her into the intrigue of nudist colonies and posh Sedona getaways while she and her hard-working doctor husband live in the real world of snotty bosses and grown children living at home -- in this case, a slacker son and his pregnant girlfriend. Fraught with one-liners that will give you the giggles for days, BOOMERANG sluices through the phony-baloney silliness of Scottsdale society to reveal what's true. Excellent poolside reading, goes great with margaritas!
