Status Updates From Beyond the Picture

Nite to author, if you're going to write about people from another country it is great if you research some coloquials. People from New York do not day "mum", and the characters so far from there I would say also don't have the correct manner of speaking. But then all of these characters mostly say one sentence at a time and stop so it's hard to tell.

It's very simplistic but the real issue is how short each conversation seems. No one seems to ever actually say anything at all and it's like a staccato trying to read through it. The writing style has also changed randomly more than once before going back to the standard. It's hard to relate to any of the characters because they seem to have no depth.

And the plot begins. You can tell it's written by a Brit... a new Yorker just said mum instead of mom.
Also, every body in this book is bipolar. Like the extreme emotions, the extreme highs and lows. And the jumping to conclusions. It's a RomCom plot, with the wrong cast.

Still haven't started a real plot. I'm aware that the main feels as though something should be done, but beginning Chapter 6, and no real plot. Also, main is not very likeable (a 50yr old, emotional and angry man who argues with everyone we've met so far)
