melhara 's review for:
You Only Call When You're in Trouble
by Stephen McCauley
slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
Character
Strong character development:
No
Loveable characters:
No
Diverse cast of characters:
Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
A story about a dysfunctional family with too many disjointed POVs (Tom, Cecile, Dorothy, and Fiona) and too little character development or redeeming qualities for the characters. I found Cecile's story arc to be the most interesting but overall, this was a boring novel in which I couldn't connect or sympathize with any of the characters.
To make things worse, there was no clear resolution in the end (particularly for Cecile's arc, which I was most interested in). As such, I regret not DNF'ing this book.
I listened to the audiobook at x1.35 speed.
