Adèle by Leïla Slimani
3.0
For some reason I thought this book was going to be a thriller? I know this author's other book was supposed to be a thriller and I didn't rate it so I guess that's where I got that idea from.
Adele follows the titular character who is a married woman living in Paris who is also a sex addict. The majority of this book is just Adele having sex with other men, making excuses to her husband, trying to get away from her duties so she can have some sex.
I'm still not sure how I feel about this book. It was definitely more interesting than the other book I've read by this author, but it didn't seem to have a lot of plot. It was more of a character study of this woman, but I thought there would be more. More of her trying to overcome her addiction or trying to get help. More of the conflict with her husband. Just more.
The ending was a bit ominous and
