Split: A Memoir of Divorce by Suzanne Finnamore

1.0

It's a little unfair for me to put this on the "read" shelf, since I only skimmed it, reading a few pages per chapter. I quickly got tired of the way the book jumped around between events, the pseudo-poetic style of writing (that was really just overblown), and the constant "I didn't see it coming" refrain -- really? Really? The husband comes off as a jerk, even when they were supposedly happy. He was showing extremely suspicious behavior for years. I wanted to hear more about the decline of their marriage (how did they get here? was it doomed from the start? why did he cheat?) and less about how she was(n't) coping with the aftermath.
