Heart of the Matter

Emily Giffin wrote Heart of the Matter, a novel about two women taking turns narrating a chapter at a time.  Tess is married and has two small children.  Valerie is not married and has one child.  Their lives intersect in an unpredictable way.  The story seemed real and moved along at a good pace.  The characters were well developed.  I listened to this book on compact discs and I found the reader, Cynthia Nixon, very distracting.  Every once in a while, she would say something and all I could picture was Miranda from Sex and the City.
