It's hard when you don't enjoy a popular book but you'll always get an honest review from me.<br /><br />(Oh, and I hated the part where Ted turned up on his friend's doorstep and said: "pills", and when he likened himself to a veteran suffering PTSD, ugh!)Traceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13886600605642919955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14047714.post-36980785467964153552016-08-19T23:13:40.508+10:002016-08-19T23:13:40.508+10:00I'm so glad to see your review: I thought some...I'm so glad to see your review: I thought something was wrong with me when I didn't love this book. <br /><br />I was irritated with Ted's (a grown man!) inability to call Lily's tumour what it was; and the dream sequence had me thinking the same thing that you did - like, "how did this go so far off the rails, and when will I get either to the "good part" or the end?"<br /><br />I rated it 3 stars - which for me is 'meh' but I applaud your rating.Debbie Rodgershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15630059470408161434noreply@blogger.com
