The interpersonal drama of this story is intricate and interesting, but the execution is plodding, and it takes way too long for the story to unfold. And while I know there wouldn't have been any plot (and it wouldn't have been realistic) if the characters had been emotionally mature, well-adjusted people, I just felt annoyed at them. Throughout the novel, I'm like, "Dude, just TALK to each other!"
