A decent read, although I found the first part a little hard going as it was quite depressing - understandably enough as it was the end of a relationship!! Which made me realise how infrequently we read about relationships that kind of "fizzle out" rather than end on a crisis. I liked the descriptions of life in Brisvegas, and some of the secondary characters but I just wasn't that vested in the two main characters for some reason. Pace picked up a bit in the second half, fortunately.
