![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sandra seems to be on the brink of discovering what causes odd behavior to catch fire and become trendy, but every time she gets close to a breakthrough she is foiled by the chaos of the office and one errand girl in particular. This story examines the origins of trends via a scientist named Sandra in the midst of a mostly incompetent office staff and a hindering human resources department. I would have preferred a story solely about Ellie and her granddaughter. (Can someone really stop being annoying at will basically overnight?) Granted this is a light-weight read, but these secondary characters really didn’t do anything for me. One of them undergoes an extreme character change over a short period of time and it seems very unrealistic to me. Those two ladies were not only extremely annoying, but also lacked depth. My least favorite parts were those dealing with the secondary characters: Ellie’s daughter and Ellie’s best friend. They had a lovely close relationship, and it was entertaining to see them interact both as a grandmother and granddaughter and then later as friends of the same age. My favorite parts of this novel were those that dealt with the main character, Ellie, and her granddaughter Lucy. The novel 29 is a lighthearted book about an elderly woman getting her birthday wish and getting to be twenty-nine again for a day. ![]()
