64% of the way through, and I am bailing. I just am tired of slogging through this. I've liked the other books by Delaney, but this isn't cutting it. It meanders and backtracks. None of the characters is appealing or relatable. I've been working at this for over a week, and it's not worth it. I may need a little brain candy after this.

Looking at the weather radar, I think I have a great excuse to spend the rest of the day reading 😄

Next up, one of Frank Delaney's novels set in Ireland. It's been a long time since I read any of his books, but I've enjoyed what I have read. I'm looking forward to this.
