Meandering, parts of the book have gas and really get going and then suddenly it stalls out. And the methods with which the husbands swap out get increasingly bizarre. There are times when it feels like Lauren has developed as a person and times where it feels like we’re back at the beginning again. There are some husbands mentioned offhandedly that sound like they would have been more interesting to explore than the ones she stays with longest. If you listen to the audiobook prepare yourself for odd pronunciations of people’s names.
