All Fours

I could not put this book down. Something about watching someone else unravel is mesmerizing. The author wrote a common scenario in a new way that had my hooked. I finished this in 3 days.

I thought this was going to be the story of a 45 year old dealing in a funny way with growing older. Aside from mentioning menopause a few times this was just an emotional crisis that could happen at any age. I liked the style of writing but I really didn't like the main character. She was obsessive and self centered and let the excuse that she was a creative poet/writer excuse her behavior. I was looking for the 45-55 year old's version of, "Are You There God? It's Me Margaret", but this book wasn't it.
