Title: Good writing, but it left me with a bad taste in my mouth
Product review: I shudder every time I think about this book. I read it right before the termination of my first long-term relationship. The story is about a man who married a woman but can't stop thinking about a different woman he met when he was young. The feeling that you're not with the right person and there's someone better out there was persistent throughout this novel and absolutely wormed its way into my consciousness as well.I'm not blaming this book for splitting us up, that was a break-up waiting to happen. All the same, the only thing I remember about reading this book is the incredibly icky, dismal, guilty feeling it gave me. I do remember that I finished it, and that it was influential enough to affect my mood, so it deserves more than one star. But since I mentally recoil every time I think of this book, I won't give it more than two.
