Alice & Oliver
by Charles Bock
I couldn't finish this one, in total honesty. I read it on my Kindle and was struggling to keep flipping pages, and when I realized I was nearing 50% of the book and still wasn't loving it, I finally just threw in the towel. Goodreads lauds it as: "A heart-breaking, page-turning, life-affirming novel about love, marriage, family, and fighting for your life, for readers of Jonathan Franzen and Meg Wolitzer." I just couldn't get into the story and the pace felt extremely slow. Hardly any action took place, and I'm realizing more and more as I branch out in fiction this year that I really need the plot to drive forward or I lose interest. I might try this one again in the future, but it just wasn't what I wanted to be reading right now. Totally didn't even take a picture while reading it... oops.
