A review by jenny_hedberg
The Marriage Plot by Jeffrey Eugenides

3.0

Ahh, I don’t know what to think absolut this novel. I read the first half with some enjoyment but then got bored. It was just more of the same, page after page. Thankfully, the chapters alternate between the different characters and Mitchell’s POV gave me some reprieve from Madeleine and her train-wreck relationship. Even so, I don’t want to anyone to think this novel is without strengths for the characters have real weight to them, but does that make up for a boring narrative?
