you made a fool of death with your beauty review

I’m reading the wrong book for me clearly! Hope others enjoy it more. Where’s the interrogation of that really? We hear the unlikely titillating details but that’s not surely all that is going on. So she gets to have some steamy sex in a bathroom at party for the first time in five years after the death of her husband (this isn’t a spoiler it happens in the first few pages).

The opening scene confirmed this with a hot hot hot beginning. There is an interesting angle of course on how someone deals with grief and PTSD and maybe the novel darkens later on but so far I find the treatment pretty facile. 4/5: I went into this thinking it was a romance. I don’t find the prose particularly beguiling and the constant “fucking” (her terminology) going on is a bore after a while as are all those totally unbelievable hot thirty somethings prancing around in their sequins and heels. I knew this was a romantic storyline with a twist and think I chose it because the narrator sounded good in the sample extract and the NY Times had reviewed it favourably but I’m about to stop bothering listening I find it so tiresome. I have to say I totally disagree with the positive review I’ve just read.
