Juliet, Naked by Nick Hornby
4.0

Overall good- the ending sadly disappoints like so many of nick hornby's other book endings. I was left feeling unsatisfied and cheated.

I did enjoy the cover art in its use of the intertwining headphones to symbolize bringing two people together through music and also to possibly make a baby (the cords appear as a woman's vagina, uterus, and ovaries), though you could argue that the music brought Annie and Duncan together OR Annie and Tucker.


Spoilers present:


ALSO! I did not anticipate or appreciate Annie's attempt at pregnancy at the end of the book. Had she not learned anything from the other wives/women? Additionally, TC's thought that she should get back with Duncan? I'm sorry, that's ludicrous. A Paltry reasoning as well given that her encounter with him will give at least 9 nine years of substance back to Annie and Duncan's relationship. Dumb to say the very simplest and the least.
