The Private Lives of Pippa Lee by Rebecca Miller

2.0

I really enjoyed this story of a youngish woman who moves to a retirement village with her much older husband. Whilst there she begins to have a nervous breakdown, and the memories of how she became to be the person she is today are noted through the book. It was well written, she has a lovely way of turning a phrase. However, the last 20 pages left me absolutely speechless. The ending was shockingly bad, and so unlike the rest of the book that i had just written, that i began to wonder if i had dreamed it all. It was as if the author wanted to make things work out, that or she just wanted to finish the story. It ultimately left me loathing the book, i dont think ive felt this disappointed in something since The Time Traveller's Wife. 2/5 stars for me.
