A review by distance_your_shelf
The Mouseproof Kitchen by Saira Shah
2.0
ATTENTION... SPOILERS AHEAD!
Characters are unlovable, and I don't get the point of an affair (or was it a one-night stand?),
she showed no remorse or intention to confess to her husband, nevertheless she comes back to France with an "everything's fine now" attitude and that's it. Sorry, just - no.
I do understand the struggles and thoughts because having a disabled child is really difficult,
but this book didn't do it for me, I didn't sympathize, I just wanted it to be over - one way or another.

I really thought this book was going to relax me, Serbian translation of the title is actually "Made for Love", so that's what pulled me in... Little did I know what the book was really about.Characters are unlovable, and I don't get the point of an affair (or was it a one-night stand?),
