Love & Other Disasters by Anita Kelly
3.0

I feel bad, but I’m rounding down on this one. I feel like the beginning, middle, and end were totally different books. The beginning was interesting enough, the middle completely lost me, but the last quarter was great! There was so much more depth to the characters suddenly! Without giving away too much I felt like the focus was way too much on The sex scenes (which usually make me inconsiderate and take me out of the moment when they are SO long and detailed) and not enough focus on the characters backgrounds and depth with their families - the earlier portions were rather vague about family situations in my opinion. This book was so long to have had so little in it. The last quarter was some great writing and I wish I could have seen more of that throughout the book.
