“Autumn, my favorite season, has always made me sad—the brightness of the sky and trees, the promise of hope and renewal always feels like a trick, an invitation for disappointment, instead of a gift.”
I really disliked Judy. A lot. She really got on my nerves with her self-absorption, but I also could identify a lot with her identity-crisis and her indecision about what the right next step was for her.
But I guess I wasn't necessarily supposed to like her. Especially if she was mirroring things about myself that I don't like. We sometimes want nothing and everything to change. That's tough. I get it.
The good news is that there was some laugh-out-loud to balance out the annoying.
Better than expected for a book about a middle aged depressed woman. Still only read the when thing to see how it turned out.
