Full Review:

2.5 Stars - I wouldn't particularly recommend this book. It has reasonable ratings on goodreads, but I just didn't enjoy it very much.

Camille's life is in stuck in a rut: she's not appreciated at work, her husband is pretty indifferent to her, her son is always frustrated with her, and she isn't fulfilled by what she is doing. When she meets "routinologist" Claude, he helps her turn her life around.

On paper this is exactly my kind of book. As I read it though, I just wanted it to be over. It felt like a “then this happened... then this happened” kind of book, but with very very little narrative. I felt like it was pretty hard for me to connect with the main character, Camille. I felt like I didn't get to understand her very well. The story was very padded with various self help and psychological or new age techniques. I love self-help books, but I really struggled to stay interested in this book as a story. I’ll give it a half point back for the “chain” bit at the ending. I wanted to love this book, I was really excited for it, but it just didn't work for me.

I was given advance access to this title by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. These reviews are my own opinion, and based on the edition of the book I was given at the time. Thank you Netgalley
