I thought I'd give Roberts one more shot after not particularly enjoying [book:Sunburning|31945211] since several of my Goodreads friends rate her work so highly. But her appeal continues to elude me.

Once again, the nature of her short little strips gives equal weight to the tedious cute-things-my-daughter-says strips as the ones dealing with multiple sclerosis and the death of a grandparent. If she expanded on one of the serious topics, I feel like I might like to experience her insights. But the numerous slice-of-life strips and attempts at humor just keep killing any slight gains in momentum. ( )
