Stories We Tell Ourselves by Sarah Françoise
2.0

I've read the book in a day, but that's simply because I'm participating in a readathon. And it's less than 300 pages. I get the feeling that I wouldn't have found myself rushing back to pick this book up if none of that had been the case, which is a shame.

I guess the best way to describe how I feel about this book is indifferent. I was kind of waiting for the big climax. But nothing. There is a sort of climax but I didn't feel like I particularly connected to any of the characters enough to care.

I did find Lois' and Simon's relationship amusing and parts written from Simon's POV did make me chuckle a little.

However, for the most part I guess I just didn't really connect with this book.
