i had a very hard time getting through this book. it starts off very slow and i think there was too much inner monologue and not enough of plot to keep me interested. 
i did enjoy the idea of the book and seeing the perspective of both the wife and the lover and how they’re both shown as almost unreliable narrators.
i also thought it was interesting how we never got to see tom’s perspective and how you’re only able to see what he’s going through through the eyes of others around him.
it was a good book, it just got to be a little slow at times.
