Review:
The main character in this book is not very interesting. The book jolts back in forth in time and I found the plot plodding. What "foreshadowing" there was was extremely obvious and kind of lead to a certain amount of dread. I don't remember any foreshadowing that lead to good things. The main character is repeatedly described as intelligent and seemed to do well in a school environment yet remained mystified by simple concepts like the stock market. I found the details about clothing and makeup made no difference to the story...maybe they are the kind of details that "set the scene" in the way a description of a landscape does, but it was hard to me to take anything away beyond the image itself. Maybe this is a me problem. Normal major events (divorce, marriage, birth of a child, etc.) seemed to occur between chapters while masturbation, hook ups, and cheating seemed to occupy whole chapters. This book oddly seemed to be about sex without being graphic. I don't know, it was just a weird mix and I found it hard to enjoy.
