The Second Mango

I wanted to read something cute and fluffy and basically undemanding and just randomly picked this book. (Mostly because I've been interested in it since I read Knit One, Girl Two by Glassman.) And, you know, it was pretty much exactly what I wanted to read. Shulamit is likable to me, but she reads a little young (something that was actually acknowledged in the book) and Rivka is delightful. However, I think my favorite thing was that Shula and Riv were FRIENDS without any love or lust getting in the way. In fact, they each have a bit of a romance subplot. The adventure/quest thing-y was fun though it was a little more topical than I would have liked. But it was fun.
