Indiscretion by Charles Dubow

3.0

I received this as a free ARE from the "first reads" giveaway. I was hesitant to read it because I thought it would be a love story, and I'm not really one for reading romance. Fortunately, the book was more a story about relationships in general and the lasting impact of a person's actions on all of his/her relationships. As other people have mentioned, the book takes a lot from The Great Gatsby. There are a lot of similarities, but there's enough different that it's worth a read. That said, while I like the premise of the book, by the end, I found that I didn't like a single character in the book. Understandably, everyone has their faults, but there were too few positive character traits to balance all of the faults. I found myself feeling utterly frustrated with the characters' actions throughout the book. Overall, I suppose a book that draws you in enough to make you feel some emotion is worthwhile.
