OMG this is awful!

Every bad thing that you can throw into a book happens to this person to explain why she's suicidal. Dead mom. Infertility. Miscarriage. Affair. Divorce. Lack of tenure. Lack of insurance. Dead cat. Horrible therapist.

And I don't care about her at all because she's not a person. She's a tragic trope without a human inside.

And, also, it's really awful.

This is a book club pick, so not my typical selection.

The voice acting on the audio book is -- umm -- interesting. I appreciate the Italian pronunciation of the Italian (ie the spells) but the Italian accents for the dialogue in English is so strange. One of the female voices has an intense vocal fry. So the performances are very distracting.

Onward!
