I understand this is fiction...
but these people don't 'come alive' for me in any meaningful way. By the end of the book I felt silly for having read it as if I had just travelled back to elementary school and was reading something from way back then. It had an adult theme, but the characters could have just walked off the set of Full House and the way they interacted with eachother made me embarrassed for them, since they haven't matured since gradeschool.The time line was very awkward as well. Chapter 1: 'And suddenly a month went by and nothing much happened'. Chaper 2: 'I drove out to see so and so today, and she said woof, yay!'Much of the same throughout the book. You basically aren't allowed to develop any meaningful connections to the characters and sticking with the story becomes very difficult at various points. I stuck with the book hoping against hope that it would eventually get better. It didn't.
