I am sorry to say that I didn't finish reading this book - and I won't be going back to it. Other reviewers said it was a bit slow getting going so I slogged through but by the time I read page 254, 56% of the book, I have slogged through far too much slow moving self examination and rumination in a way reminiscent of middle school angst, not characters of the age and professional stage of the two main characters! I am thoroughly annoyed by both of them not to mention their friends/colleagues.
