Helpful Score: 3

An interesting novel with 3 main characters -- Janice, who is struggling mightily with being dumped by her longtime husband and their country club friends, and her two daughters -- one an angry feminist who finished college and started a magazine called "Snatch," which has gone under, leaving her frustrated and completely broke, and the other a somewhat innocent high-school girl who thinks she has become popular with boys until she learns that there's a scorecard in the boys' locker room where they're all keeping track of who's gone how far with her. Each character is psychologically interesting and complex enough to seem pretty real. I enjoyed this book.
"All We Ever Wanted Was Everything" was a national best-seller and named one of the best books of 2008 by Library Journal.
