I Married You for Happiness by Lily Tuck

4.0

Although this was a short novel (190 pages), this author's work will stick with me. It was equal parts sweet and sad, with a gorgeous way of describing a marriage that has come to an unexpected, abrupt end. The style was unique in that it truly seemed to capture how a lot of people think....one memory that evolves into a completely different thought, that may or may not come back to the initial memory. I also appreciated the poetry, it was really beautiful. I loved Philip's character, but was a little put off by Nina and her reckless behavior. I would love to delete a lot of her actions, but making everything perfect in a novel defeats the purpose of the message I suppose. Really glad I invested the time to read something completely different than I normally pick up...will add some more Lily Tuck to my bookshelf:-)
