QWhat I liked: Towards the book’s beginning, there were a few wonderful vignettes about Grace & Ben’s early time together. What I Disliked: I really wanted to like this book, but it became endlessly depressing. Also, lots of confusion due to the many flashbacks and erratic timeline.
I was surprised by how compelling this story was. I attribute this to the page-turning suspense Littlewood was so deftly able to create. I blew through this book in 2 days because I had to see where this was all going! The title character, Grace Adams is having a terrible, horrible, very bad, no good day and she just can't take it anymore. Her marriage is over, her professional life is diminished, her teenage daughter hates her, she's struggling with unaddressed emotional trauma, and to top it all off, she's perimenopausal. It wasn't until I finished the book and read the acknowledgments page that the author was inspired by the 1993 film, Falling Down and I can really appreciate this modernized and feminized revisioning. This would be a good book club pick and I recommend this book to any woman who is sick and tired of being sick and tired.
