★★☆☆☆
Poor plot, missing decency in character
I found this book unbelievably boring and slow and o.m.g. so many moments I thought like Phoebe from Friends, ‘Get yourself together, woman!’ towards Lucy. I cannot in good conscience recommend this book. For shame, RW. One of the reviewers had it right when they said it was more like a mental issue-obsession than love.
I also did not like the justification of infidelity. The worship of “true love” and its ideal is so blown out of proportion. I sometimes wonder how much detriment and disservice Hollywood and the Westernized way of thinking does to us.
But then again, that’s why we read books... to escape reality.
I just couldn’t get into the story. I didn’t feel the main character was strong enough. Or well developed.
