This Charming Man by Marian Keyes
2.0
What I like about Marian Keyes is that she writes about the “hidden” things that affect our lives, in this case domestic violence, secret desires & addiction. And she usually does so with a strong voice. I usually enjoy her books, I like the way she tackles the big issues with humanity and humour.
For some reason the sections dealing with one of the characters in this book - Lola - are written in a weirdly staccato sort of verbal shorthand that was so distracting I mostly skimmed her parts because it hurt my brain to read. Maybe the author was trying something new and I am too set in my expectations of this author to appreciate it?
