what the …

this book was so dull i feel guilty to admit it. there was no
actual storyline! it was written in first person and the sentences were short, quick and generally bloody boring.

i was confused on who the main protagonist was meant to be (i assume juliet??) and if i was meant to care about her. she complains throughout the entire book about her crappy husband and her exhaustion with him. she gets jealous but you never really get an insight into what and why. however, after a dramatic accident with their son, their love is rekindled. the issue is, i didn’t care because i didn’t know what their love originally was in the first place.

and why don’t we ever hear about bas’ perspective about catching his new beau in bed with another man … i mean he gushes about her and how perfect she is in comparison to his stale attraction for lucy. And then nothing?

so is this meant to be a story about learning to love the mundanity of life? I don’t know but if it is, it didn’t provide that for whatsoever!

there were a lot of grammatical and spelling errors in my edition.
