Book-a-book of the Month Club discussion

Discuss the story here

Spoiler Alert... I don't understand why (view spoiler)[ nothing more monumental happened on any of the major elements of this story. There's no twist/mystery around Marlena's death. There's nothing special that happens in her meeting with Sal. There's no major change in the present narrator's life with her addiction/relationships. From the beginning, I was expecting something to happen as the story went on, but it doesn't. It just kind of ends. (hide spoiler)] Am I the only one that feels this way?

I am not looking at the spoiler yet! I will as soon as I start the book - how far in should I be before I look at the spoiler?

Hmm... I think you should finish the book completely, then look at my spoiler. Sorry!

Will do - I hope to finally start it this week. It seems like a fairly short one so hopefully I can finish it quickly!

The writing is very stream of conscious - makes me lose focus.
