The Life Impossible by Matt Haig

Go to review page

Did not finish book. Stopped at 85%.
I was consuming this as an audio book from the library.  It became so mundane and boring that when I got notice that it was time for the book to be returned I didn't even try to renew it, just let it go back and looked up the ending.

Our bookclub read this book and we all agreed on one thing...it was awful. The style of writing did not keep our attention, and we had to force ourselves to finish it.

The book was very choppy and didn't flow very well. It also did not spark any great conversations.

I would recommend NOT wasting your time.
