Turning Forty by Mike Gayle

2.0

I have downgraded this from 3* to 2* on reflection, as I feel that actually nothing happened in it. All the plots that built up (moving house, his marriage break down, new relationships with characters) were all trashed by the end and all of the may as well have not happened. However obviously something kept me reading so I have left the rating as 2* instead of 1*. Perhaps I would have had a better understanding if I had read Turning Thirty before this.
