Mothering Sunday by Graham Swift
2.0
Mothering Sunday was filled with so much repetitiveness.
In it, you meet a guy and girl who just did the deed. Once the guy leaves, our girl starts to think about a lot of things. One of them is being naked and walking around the house. The other is about the semen on the bed sheet. Both of these things are something I would probably never think about. Mostly because I wouldn't be walking around a guys house naked after he left.
Nope, I probably would've got dressed and walked out. Maybe thinking about food and going to eat something. Now that's the normal thing - being hungry after this. Maybe even sleepy.
You'd think that things would get a bit more interesting but no, the first half is just her thinking about things. I'm not going to lie, I really wanted to skim through the first half because I just didn't care about what she was thinking or seeing. All I wanted was for her to walk out of this house. It just felt super weird and I'm just like.. can we do something else? The day is young. Go eat.
In the end, I am just super happy that the book is over. I couldn't get invested in the characters because they just annoyed me.
