The Happy Couple by Naoise Dolan

2.0

i really enjoyed the first third of this book. I like the author's writing style, and i thought celine was well-drawn. But the further we got into the novel, the more it wore one me. The same snarky humor for each character? is there a narrator, or not? is everyone this self-aware in the moment? Luke's introspection and analysis rang particularly false, and i found myself easily annoyed with him. the general platitudes/"lessons learned" near the end were eye-roll worthy. not for me!
