I don't read a lot of fiction, and when I do, I am frequently disappointed, but not this time. The hook in this book for me was getting to read the thoughts and feelings of each character in regards to an event. Different characters, different perspectives. The three ...

Ayelet Waldman

Berkley Hardcover, 2006

Overall, A Good Read
I'm a long-time Ayelet Waldman fan so I enjoyed "Bye-Bye, Black Sheep" even though the ending is not clear cut. I didn't mind that, though, nor did I feel let down because that really is how life is. It kept the book from being formulaic. I liked that she didn't ...
