joanna912 's review for:

Dept. of Speculation by Jenny Offill
2.0

I had been anticipating really enjoying this book based on reviews, but I was disappointed. I think overall the story could have been interesting about falling in and out of love, but the author switched back and forth between voices paragraph to paragraph, so I could never gain momentum. She switched from first to second to third person. And most annoyingly used "the wife" in the third person. Maybe to put space between the "hard" topics. I don't really know, but I didn't like it.
