    It was a slog!
    I read it all but it was a challenge. I am not too much for flashbacks and forth. I did like Ruthie but she could have done something earlier. The Jewish cultural elements were good to learn.

    Starts great...
    I thoroughly enjoyed the first third or so of "The Imposter Bride". It had a bit of mystery and lots of family drama. After that, it got incredibly boring. I only finished it because I have to write a review.

    Additionally, while I usually enjoy when authors switch between the past and the present, the technique is usually done with something to distinguish between the time periods (a heading or italics). Nancy Richler did nothing to indicate the time period, and with the same characters both in the present and the past, it became convoluted. It's a technique that other authors have employed with much better success.
