Almost finished listening to this, I wasn‘t sure if I‘d like it to begin with but the story has drawn me in (for better or worse!).

The End of the Affair | Graham Greene
Mehso-so

I really wanted to love this. But the further into it I got, the more self-indulgent it seemed to get. I didn‘t find either Maurice or Sarah all that interesting later in the book, and my earlier intrigue at how their affair played out gradually wore into annoyance and determination just to finish the damn thing.

I listened to this on audiobook and Colin Firth‘s performance was marvellous so that‘s one thing I liked, I guess. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Not her best work, sadly. I liked the premise; self help and personal improvement is a huge market and who doesn‘t want to be transformed?! But the twist is a bit daft, the back stories take up the bulk of the book so it seems to take forever to actually get going, and the characters themselves are a bit on the nose, tbh. A quick and fairly absorbing read, but Moriarty has written better. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Powered_By_Plants Ahh Iv had my eye on this one for a while now and just downloaded it , I had high hopes 🙈 5y

“I‘m not sure I can do this. I‘m not sure I can let go of everything that happened, start again. For a minute my finger givers irrationally over the Delete button. And then I click.”

SophDuncShep Actually I am sure I can let go of what happened in this book because it‘s a very big pile of MEH. 5y
ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled Ha! Agreed! 😆👏 5y

“It was a nice day. All the days had been nice. There had been rather more than seven of them so far, and rain hadn‘t been invented yet.”

Just starting this, courtesy of a very kind friend who‘s sent me this copy today!

Merethebookgal That‘s an amazing edition! 5y
