Work In Progress

by Keith Bodayla

Neal Hunter worked in a job that wasn’t going anywhere. He had lost contact with his college friends in the three years since graduation. His roommate brought a different girl home every weekend. But Neal was okay because he had Shaundra. He could see marrying her one day – maybe even one day soon. With her, Neal felt that despite everything else, he was still headed in the right direction. That was until the day he got into a car accident on his way to work. His car wrecked, his body alright, but his system in shock, he returned home to find Shaundra in bed with his roommate. Work in Progress is the weekend that follows as Neal wanders through Boston trying to distract himself from the shock, anger, and emptiness he’s confronted with.

I felt like this book was incomplete. It abruptly ended during what I felt was somewhere in the middle of the story. The main character was at a major decision point and there was no follow up with the results. I don't need a happy ending when reading, but some general information about where the main character's choices took him would have made the book more enjoyable for me.
