All Fall Down by Jennifer Weiner

1.0

This is possibly the worst novel I've ever read in my life. The narrator is a caricature, not a character, and there is essentially no plot--just hundreds of pages of her inner monologue that is so flat and simple and one-dimensional that it makes it possible to be sympathetic with her even when she is facing difficult times. I've liked other books by Jennifer Weiner, but have no idea what happened with this one. I usually read 3-4 books a week, but this one took me about two months to get through because I found it too unbearable to read in more than very small chunks. The only reason I even finished it was a sense of morbid curiosity.
