i mean ienjoyed the novel, it has beautiful writing, so a very nice read. i liked learning about the different characters, diving into their personal lives, their failing marriages and experiences. at times though, the writing got a little too pretentious? for me. no one talks like cusk writes and that's alright, but it makes the dialogue so unreal. at times whole paragraphs went over my head because the words used were so niche and as a non-native speaker it was hard to understand. still, i enjoyed it. this isn't a plot driven book, which i normally dislike, but it was still very interesting.
