The Divorce Express Paula Danziger 9780340795392 Books Reviews

When I was a teen, I loved reading Paula Danziger's novels; she really knew how to get into the heads of her 13- and 14-year-old protagonists and I could easily relate to them. I first read this book when I was about 15 or 16, and loved it then. I related to Phoebe's dilemma of who to love when parents divorce and her first crush, David, as well as her BFF Rosie.

However, I had the opportunity to re-read this novel at the ripe old (?) age of 38, and am now a divorced mother of two. The novel has lost some of its sparkle, and perhaps that's due to my changed circumstances. Phoebe strikes me as wise beyond her years in this novel and she shows a very level head in situations that would have normal 14-year-olds whining about how unfair life is; however, she throws a tantrum when she discovers that her mother is remarrying.

Danziger might have a low opinion of men the fathers in her other novels "Can You Sue Your Parents for Malpractice?" and "The Pistachio Prescription" were ornery and nasty at times; but here, Phoebe's father is practically a saint an eco-warrior who recycles as much as possible, paints, and saves woodland animals from traps. Phoebe's mother is a materialistic shrew, which I felt was a rather unfair characterization. She gets engaged to an insurance executive with kids older than Phoebe, and this obviously disconcerts Phoebe.

The tone of the book is city versus country life, and the hippie-esque Woodstock lifestyle is the clear winner here. She almost made me want to visit New York, but I'll save my money and make a pilgrimmage to Whole Foods Market instead, assuming I'll find the same level of smugness there that she imbues to her Woodstock-living characters.

This book is better than its inferior sequel, "It's an Aardvark-Eat-Turtle World" (in which Phoebe becomes the villain for no apparent reason) but, for me, it's not quite the same.
