The Love of My Youth by Mary Gordon

1.0

I can only repeat what other reviewers have written before me: the characters are supposed to be likable but aren't; and I only kept reading to find out why they broke up, but the break up isn't that interesting. The chapter subtitles are lines from the characters' pedantic and boring conversations, but the lines aren't particularly noteworthy or insightful. The Love of My Youth is a painful read that doesn't get better.
