Wow. For a book about a frogman and a depressed housewife engrossed in a passionate love affair, I did not see the ending coming.

I actually don’t know how I feel about this book. It was a very quick read, and a lot of the dialogue between Dorthy and Larry was nicely written and felt profound at times. I think I went into this expecting one thing and was met with something completely different. All I know for certain is FUCK Fred and FUCK Estelle!
This is not a bad book at all, just one I might need to think about a little more to fully gauge how I feel about it…
