The Shelf Life of Happiness by David Machado

1.0

I kept waiting for this to get better but was disappointed. The story is written from the point of view of a deluded but good-hearted father in Portugal, who basically refuses to give up on his dream of finding another job even when everything around him is pointing to a different future. The other characters are all far more interesting and likeable than the main character but the story failed to grab me.
