Interesting idea of divorce party

Thoughts of characters drawn out a little too much at times.
Performance was very good

I Really Tried To Like This Book but....

The story was just not interesting enough. I downloaded this book after enjoying The Last Thing He Told Me but these books are incomparable. The storyline here was repetitive, benign and SLOW. and the narrator's voice was just annoying. I wanted to like it and persevered until the end but it just wasn't enjoyable. Sorry.
