Her by Harriet Lane

2.0

Could have been a good book, unfortunately it's a bad one. I really do like the concept, that someone has held on to some perceived slight for so many years, while the other person doesn't even remember it. But when the grudge is finally revealed, it's really so ridiculously minor and impersonal that it's really hard to believe that an otherwise pretty reasonable person would have such an exaggerated response. The dual narrative is also something that I typically enjoy but is used so badly here; it's nice to see things from both points of view but the way it makes you relive every interaction detail by detail is beyond repetitive. And, like every other review has noted, terrible horrible stupid ridiculous ending.
