If this is NYT best seller, then anyone can be one
I expected to love this book. It was painful to get through however. I don’t know why it took so long to get to any sort of climatic point. 3/4 of the book are unnecessary long winded descriptions of her drinking and popping pills. The end was so predictable I skipped about 15 pages. If you’ve watched any one-star horror movie, the final scene here was same. The writing itself was very good - obviously the author is capable of writing well - but the story just didn’t move along, characters didn’t make you care, and it was predictable. I hope he tries again bc I think he can do a better story.
