Title: The Engagements
Author: J. Courtney Sullivan
Genre: Women's fiction
Pages: 383
Published: 2013
I recently read Maine, also by J. Courtney Sullivan, which was a very good book, so I was excited to read this one as well. It is really four stories within one book and I found it kind of confusing, as I would just be getting into what was going on with one set of characters and the next chapter would be about a completely different set of characters in a completely different time period. Now this usually works if the stories are interconnected in some way, but these really weren't. I feel like she could have written four different books successfully, as the story lines were good for each, but I didn't think they worked well together. I think she did try to tie a couple of them together at the very end, but it was not very clear and I didn't really feel the need to go back and reread to figure it out. Not a bad read, but could have been better if it was streamlined a bit.
