This was absolutely not for me. The first 75% drags unbelievably. The last 25% is unnecessarily rushed. The characters are all 2d cardboard cut outs at best. The main character is insufferable. His wife/ mother of his child is a non entity and is only there to sound like she's chiding him unnecessarily when really everything she asks for/ says is completely reasonable. All of the movement of the plot in the first 75% if this book happens because this married couple cannot communicate over the simplest matters.
