I thought it was a cute book...the first half was better than the second as it ended a little dark...it was a nice quick read and for me a nice break from some of the heavier historical fiction that I usually read..

Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides4 Stars (****)
I did not have any expectations at all before I started this book and I am so pleased that I took the time to read it. The relationships and cultures are so interesting and I can't believe how fast 529 pages went by for me...Another "must read" historical fiction on my shelf...
