I think this book could be cathartic for some people, but the main character responds to her every emotion with alcohol, which I generally find incredibly tedious. The whole book is painfully slow, especially given how little actually happens, and I wasn’t rooting for the main character at all.
I considered DNF several times but hung in there because I’d heard such great things and wondered if the book would improve. It didn’t.
It’s a midlife crisis book far more than a romance, this time featuring a workaholic lawyer in Singapore.
