Time to start again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like Tom Perrotta and for some reason, I haven't read his first few books.
Reading The Wishbones, I noticed how both novels share the theme of having an affair while you are in a rut with your partner or spouse.
The tension in both books is centered on whether the long-term relationship should be broken up for the excitement of the fling.
The difference, however, is the true love connection between the philanders in The Wishbones, while I thought the Little Children adulterers were just bored, not soulmates in any way.
The Wishbones is a great read for anyone post-college who is wondering about the direction their life is taking, or who has friends who seem aimless since they've turned 25 or so.
When do you have to grow up and get a real purpose in life?
There's a lot of recognizable material in this book, and it rings very true.
Highly recommended to any fan of good stuff.
