A story about a woman who was young and naive and met a guy who is into bonding. 

They were married and moved from house to house, saving up to buying new one.

Instead of using time and date, she used the different addresses of their houses to mark the change in time. 

Oh crap.

Willa, her old friend, flirt and had a affair with her husband Charles. She moved out, he got a new girlfriend, introduced by Willa, the bitch of a girlfriend.

That's where I don't get it. Why would Willa think it cool to have an affair to her old friend, got mad when her friend is not cool with it. And the husband is on Willa's side and think it is her fault for not forgiving them. Why would she forgive them when they are not even sorry?

The more interesting is, this is kind of the subculture, only happening in women novel. That the down to Earth housewife have to learned her lesson, by being betrayed first by the husband, then with a best friend. And the expectation in the novel world, is that you forgive the cheater and either stay married and be happy, or learned a life big lesson and be on your own and "find" yourself.

Why is it like that? It doesn't make any sense in the real world. Is this type of novel supposing to prepare women in case their spouse cheated on them, and they are supposed to be cool and moved on? Or are they supposed to make a big deal out of it, and find their marriage not worth the time to work through in the first place? 

I know this is a good writer, and not so typical already. So, I'm going to read the second half of the book. I just don't like women novel in general with this kind of mind trick.

Fuck the cheater if she is not in love with him. But if she is not in love, why stay marry to this guy. And if you are in love, would they able to make some rule so the woman is not hurt by the cheating so damn much. How a man stay faithful, mean a lot because it is a direct "report card" to how the woman is doing in his life. If he is satisfied, he is not suppose to cheat on her. 

Oh well. 

Now that she got to fertility clinic, got herself checked, and got pregnant and had a child with Norman, she refused to go back to work. 

I hate Marianne. She is a fucking dumb ass bitch who is irresponsible enough to have a child she could not afford, and now depending on a man who she complained against a lot. What a bitch! This is her decision to do this, how could she blame it on anyone else but her own selfish little bitchy self.

Maybe I'm not the target audience, so I found this irresponsible woman irritating. She bought a house and is now paying for it with her lover's money. What better deal is she trying to get? 

I would still finish it, but unless it improved a lot, it would not get more than 2 stars. 

Things didn't improve that much in the book. The only highlight on Marianne life, is flirting with an old friend. That got her heart beats faster? Gee. What a low life? She had a child and a husband, and she choose not to work and not to continue her study and blamed it on her child and her husband, and an old friend flirting get her excited? 

Something is really wrong with this woman character. I hate her. 

Add to it, is her jealousy of her ex-husband, having a good life. She regret leaving Charles. It is her own fault. 

I hope this book improve in the next 100 pages or so. Something that make the readers go through these uninteresting, boring, irritating characters to get to the point, which so far into the book, is lacking.

Really, what is the point in telling me about this shitting little Marianne. 

The book didn't improve a lot. She got a new lover, and then left Norman. 

This annoying Marianne felt so insecure about her new lover, but then he failed to fix her house as promise at a certain time, she finally left him.

This is so full of shit. I really hate his woman, and there is no story, just her pathetic life with different cardboard cut men who failed to love her enough. What is the point of this book? Where is the human drama that is interesting, or entertaining, or thought provoking? 

Don't waste time on this one.
