Title: Not My Cup of Tea
Review: If books came with a guarantee, I'd get my money back on this one. And I had really looked forward to reading it. I found it profound in many ways, but I totally couldn't relate to the angst or the characters.It was a chore for me to finish it. I realize it has won an award and it IS well written, but the main character was just too quirky and needy for me to relate to her. I'm glad some readers were able to laugh out loud, I felt sad in many ways, at the self-destructiveness, the isolation , the loneliness of the main character. And Irene left me cold as did most of the characters. May be I'm just too old for this type of fiction??
