Alphabet Weekends
I made it up until "January A for Abseiling." I could not read anymore. I am sure it is a wonderful book, but there are too many characters and too much back and forth between the characters. I do not care for that when I read books and I just could not read it any longer. Up until where I finished, there was little to make me interested to even try reading more.
This was what I have come to expect from Elizabeth Noble books--a quick, entertaining read. There are a few story lines going, but with enough connection to each other (both through theme and actual character interaction) to keep it from feeling disjointed.

My absolute favorite Elizabeth Noble novel, it tells the story of Natalie and Tom (best friends who have a pact to marry each other after 30), Anna and Nicholas (Natalies parents who are struggling with empty nest syndrome and elderly depression) and Patrick and Lucy (Toms brother/sister-in-law who are struggling one of them having an affair).

Interpretation Toward Books Alphabet Weekends
Natalie and Tom have been best friends forever, but Tom wants them to be much more. When Natalie's longtime boyfriend walks out on her just when she thinks he's going to propose, Tom offers her a different and wildly romantic proposition. He suggests that they spend twenty-six weekends together, indulging in twenty-six different activities from A to Z, and at the end of that time Tom's convinced they'll be madly in love. Natalie, however, is not so sure. As Natalie's touring the alphabet with Tom, her mother's going through her own romantic crisis—while Tom's unhappily married sister-in-law, Lucy, struggles with temptation. And over the course of six amazing months, three generations of passionate dreamers are going to discover that, no matter how clever they are, love—and life—is never as easy as A, B, C . . .Particularize Books In Favor Of Alphabet Weekends

Solid 3 stars. An entertaining and enjoyable book. It is primarily the story of Natalie and Tom, who have been friends since childhood. Natalie has just been dumped and Tom comes up with alphabet weekends where they will each pick a date theme starting with the letter and A and ending with Z. There are a couple sub stories; one involving Natalie's dad and her mom who is going through depression, and the other about Tom's brother and his wife who deal with adultery. There were many amusing partsI made it up until "January A for Abseiling." I could not read anymore. I am sure it is a wonderful book, but there are too many characters and too much back and forth between the characters. I do not care for that when I read books and I just could not read it any longer. Up until where I finished, there was little to make me interested to even try reading more.
