Seeing Other People by Mike Gayle
3.0
This was just average unfortunately. It had a really good premise that I could get behind but none of the execution. I wanted more from the dead ex girlfriend.. she turned up about 3 times in the entire book and didn’t explain anything at all, but also tried to be like that main focus of teaching him a lesson on what he actually wants and tbh I felt the book could be done either without her completely or more of her
I loved that he realised that all he ever wanted was right there in front of him, I love the real look at how devastating a divorce can be to EVERYONE around you, how one tiny moment can change your whole life and it was written well and definitely easy to read.
I didn’t really feel much for the main character, I didn’t hurt when he hurt, I didn’t get excited when he got excited I just kinda mulled along with him and finished the book. I wasn’t even happy at the end that it was all a dream cos the book explains it but also doesn’t explain it like halfway through??? The book just confused me, I didn’t know what it’s main focus was..
Enjoyable enough, but nothing to write home about. Right in the middle of the ball park for me.
