TITLE: A Reliable Wife
AUTHOR: Goolrick, Robert
GENRE: Fiction
DATES READ: 10/8/2012 - 10/20/2012
MY RATING: 2/5
This book turned out to be a lot more sexual than I anticipated. It was extremely depressing, and while the cover mentioned "intoxicating", the majority of it was just plain sad.
The characters were depressing and I understand that Catherine is looking for love with Truitt, but shouldn't the book have at least tried to make you love him too? Instead he was muted, and almost voyeuristic.
Toward the end, I just found myself wanting for the book to be over. Really lame. Then again, this book was a freebie for me, I don't have much to complain about.
The ending was surprising, but I need to start reading something that has more hope and less sex/depression. I'm sure it has it's place on someone's bookshelf. I certainly don't think it will stay on mine for long.
