A review by simsarah79
The Land of Steady Habits by Ted Thompson
4.0
This book has the elements I like: a somewhat self-deprecating protagonist, some divorce, some parenting issues, some drug use, some disappointments and an unpredictable ending.
I liked that Anders left his wife and then realizes that he shouldn't have done that. But instead of appreciating the other facets of the story like the children who suffered the consequences of parents wanting the best for them despite what they want, i focused on whether the two would make amends. I won't spoil the ending but even though I like unhappy endings as much as happy ones this one was a little depressing.
I enjoyed the book and hope Thompson is writing a follow up or another novel. He's talented.
