A Good Marriage by Kimberly McCreight

2.0

---

Well, this was not my favorite. I found myself entertained enough, but the characters are ones we’ve met one hundred thousand times before; rich, white people with “tortured” backstories. I don’t think any of the characters were likable and I wanted to encourage most of the women to have some dignity and respect for themselves (looking at you Amanda and Lizzie). The ending I would have liked to have seen: all the women dump their lame ass husbands and raise their kids single-handedly by forming a mega mom cult. No shitty ass men necessary. Nonetheless, I would certainly recommend this for those that like a slow burn that’s heavy on the legal drama side.
