The Art of Mending by Elizabeth Berg
3.0
I enjoy Elizabeth Berg and her stories of intimate relationships. Either friendship, family or love.
I struggled with this book. The topic was intense and the characters weren’t necessarily likeable. Neither of those elements turn me off from a book, and where Berg went wrong was not putting us inside the head of the main character. It seemed as if she would think one idea and then contradict herself on the next page. As a reader I wanted to journey with the character but I often felt left behind.
