so-soAnother paint to audiobook! I didn‘t relate to this novel and didn‘t find the MC likable, in fact I found him annoying. There is some arrested development - my armchair diagnosis. 😜
Guess that‘s why I am not a Pulitzer judge. 🤣🤣
Vansa I found this book deeply mediocre too. How does he fall in love so easily?!! Also I really really don't like the trope in any fiction, film or book, where the love interest marries someone else and then realises it was the protagonist all along. This was such an overhyped book 2y
Tamra @Vansa agreed! I‘m glad I avoided it during the big hype. Several times I wanted to tell him to grow up and get over himself. Wallowing in self pity - I am over 50 and life has never been better! 😆 He viewed it like a terminal illness diagnosis. I‘m just not the target audience for the novel. (edited) 2y
Vansa @Tamra oooh I had forgotten about his bizarre ageism as well - the way he wrote about 50 made it sound like he was over 100. My grandmother is in her early 90s and doesn't sound as paranoid about age as he does! Seriously wallowing in self pity, as you've put it! 2y
Suet624 You just helped me to unstack a book. 2y
Tamra @Suet624 I‘m sorry and not sorry. 😜 2y
