The Borrower by Rebecca Makkai

1.0

I only ready the first 60 pages or so and skimmed the rest. I didn't buy the plot at all. The main character is pathetic and a little whiny. There are a lot of coincidences in the plot and it felt a little heavy handed. In full disclosure, I am a librarian so that might be a reason I had such a big problem with it. I just didn't find it realistic and an adult who gets tricked by a 10 year old, even a smart 10 year old, should be working at a fast food joint and not a library.
