Commentary Supposing Books Sleepwalking in Daylight

Once defined by her career and independence, stay-at-home mom Samantha Friedman finds that her days have been reduced to errands, car pools and suburban gossip. What was an easy decision for Sam years ago has become a nagging awareness that this life was her choice. Now she deals with a husband who shows up for dinner but is too preoccupied for conversation, and a daughter swathed in black clothing and Goth makeup who won't talk at all.

Believing she's an adopted mistake, seventeen-year-old Cammy has fallen into sex and drugs and pours herself into a journal filled with poetry and pain. On parallel paths, mother and daughter indulge in desperate, furtive escapism—for Sam, a heady affair with her supposed soul mate, fueled by clandestine coffee dates and the desire to feel something; for Cammy, a secretive search for her birth mother punctuated by pills, pot and the need to feel absolutely nothing.

They talk, they connect, and there is something alive



This was my first book by this author and while I wasn't blown away by it, I do want to read her other stuff. I like her writing style, if nothing else.The thing with this book is it hit me kind of hard. It's a difficult story to read, and though I have absolutely nothing in common with the main character, Samantha, I could relate to and empathize with her at the same time I wanted to smack some sense into her. **SPOILER-ISH***I'm not one of those "married at all costs" people...I think if

Mother Samantha gets caught up in the day-to-day sameness and wonders if "this is all there is to life". She has a husband who is present in her life, but "absent" from it. Her husband once said "The only constant in our marriage is the edge of the cliff we're hanging on to, killing time until we tire ourselves out and give in to our inevitable collapse."Her adopted teenaged daughter, Cammy, is into drugs, sex, and a Goth lifestyle. Both are unhappy. Both are searching for something more, a

I wanted to like this book, but I really, really didn't. For one thing, Flock's writing was incredibly sloppy and had a lot of inconsistencies. (I got hung up on this one right at the start and couldn't let it go: Flock writes that it has been 11 years since Cammy asked why she didn't look like her brothers. Well, that's quite a feat, given that her brothers are 8 years old in the story. Apparently Cammy has some mad future-seein' skillz...) Beyond the sloppiness, the book just makes the reader

Another cautionary tale for parents and spouses--be present, nurture those you love--because life and relationships can be very fragile. Sometimes when wounded people get together the damage multiplies. These wounded characters are mostly sympathetic, although occasionally aggravating in their self-centeredness and carelessness. Still, it's easy to see how boredom, dissatisfaction and grief can drive wedges and isolate us from things that require vigilance. Told half from a mother's point of

I wanted to choke Samantha at the end of the story. She hadn't learned her lesson and her priorities are all messed up. She doesn't know what she wants; for example, from page 280: "Why do I keep going back and forth? Every time I leave him I resolve to not see him again." (Craig) "This time I think I'll do it. This time I'll break free and I'll throw myself back into my family". No inner dialogue/conflict AT ALL about this at their next oh-so-romantic coffee date! Then just twenty pages later
