Mehso-so

I always think when I don‘t “get” a book, it‘s my lack of literary intelligence, so I‘m sure I‘ve missed some deep and meaningful observations of relationships or some such, but for me this was a bit bland and superficial.

I didn‘t feel any connection with any of the characters; the book seemed more to be a series of anecdotes about situations and events, rather than the characters.

I wanted more from the book.
