Deeply unsatisfying. I'm too angry and bored for words right now. But here we go. I waited and waited for this book to start being good and it never happened. The story was repetitive, mundane, and tried too hard to be pretentious (which is worse than actually being pretentious). They have sex. A few months go by. They get drunk and have sex again. Six weeks go by. They get drunk and have sex again. Five months go by. You see where I am going with this? The ENTIRE book is this. You have no sense of connection to the characters, you cannot understand their journey because of constant huge times jumps, and you simply can't care about either of them. If this book ended with one of them being in sexaholics anonymous then the setup of this book would have worked. BUT ALAS it did not end that way.

Even the characters are inconsistent. In one part we have the main character saying, "In a way I like the idea of something so dramatic happening to me. I would like to upset peoples expectations." And then just pages later it is said, "Marianne was so totally uninterested in what people thought of her, so extremely secure in her own self-perception." What hot garbage. Make a choice and decide who your character is supposed to be - and if growth and change are supposed to be themes here, then allow us to explore that better by not changing the setting 4-6 months every 8 pages. There is literally no sense of connection with these one-dimensional, booze and sex obsessed twits who are only hooking up when the other is in a relationship it seems. BLAH BLAH BLAH.

Garbage. Would never in a million years recommend this to my worst enemy. Rant over.
