The Object of My Affection Stephen McCauley $6.99 Pocket Books (1998) ISBN: 0671020668 average review: Reviews: This gets: a from samantha: Although its characters are in their 20s and the female reader can relate the protagonists pressure and desire to find a mate, (as well as the complications with it) the writing doesn't go very deep. This makes for easy reading, but maybe seems to target high school/college girls. Has a satisfying ending though. Made into a movie with Jennifer Aniston. From the back cover: George and Nina seem like the perfect couple. They share a cozy, cluttered Brooklyn apartment, a taste for impromptu tuna casserole dinners, and a devotion to ballroom dancing lessons at Arthur Murray. They love each other. There's only one hitch: George is gay. And when Nina announces she's pregnant, things get especially complicated. Howard -- Nina's overbearing boyfriend and the baby's father -- wants marriage. Nina wants independence. George will do anything for a little unqualified affection, but is he ready to become an unwed surrogate dad? A touching and hilarious novel about love, friendship, and the many ways of making a family. eryka.com scale: So good you just can't stand it. Almost that good. Sort of good. Generally a waste of time. Destined for the recycler. If you'd like to review this book, or another, click here Similar books by category: american Go home | Go to fiction home © 2002 eryka.com.
