Title: What does it all mean ?
Review: I have to say this book was a big letdown, even though it is rather well-written. I can't possibly like a book where I can get to the end without once understanding the protagonist's motives. Ok, so she moves to New York City to get away from a difficult situation with her paralyzed boyfriend-then what ? Why does she get involved with "Kilroy", who is completely emotionally unavailable ? Doesn't it bother her that he is so distant and unapproachable ? Why does she up and leave to go back home ? Shouldn't she at least let her lover know she is leaving him ?I gave the book two stars because of the interesting cast of supporting characters, and the description of Carrie's life in Wisconsin. Apart from that, I had a strong desire to shake the heroine by the shoulders, tell her to wake up and stop being so passive and emotionally half-asleep.I can't recommend a book that left me feeling so irritated at the end.
Is the review positive or negative?
