As intriguing as this story was in the first quarter, I'm now eagerly anticipating it's conclusion. There are so many beautifully written and thought-provoking passages but I think the story has dragged on a bit long - I am at a compelling point but ready to find out what will happen with Dorian and move on to my next read.

Um..hello? As a former bookseller, English major, and now librarian, I admittedly always thought this book looked so boring and never gave it a chance. Now I'm exploring the classics via audiobooks on my commute (so I stay calm in traffic) and I can't get enough of this one. I stand corrected! Can't wait to see where it goes.

I think I misinterpreted the description of this book - I expected this to read more like a cultural study and analysis of the institution of marriage rather than a personal memoir. Some of the dynamics she describes early on in her relationship would have been major red flags for me and I never would have gone ahead with the wedding 😬 so I'm not sure how I will feel about any of her conclusions.
