Fault Lines by Emily Itami
2.0

This book was very wordy and was mostly narrative.
It was about a bored Japanese housewife who's husband works long, long hours and doesn't spend much time with their 2 kids.

She meets a stranger and becomes his friend and then his lover.... All because she thinks her life is boring. It doesn't last long but it's enough to get get in a better place with her husband (which I don't agree was a good thing). She loves her children fiercely though.

I spent my time in this short book skipping a lot of the narrative and just finding where people actually talk. I didn't really like ally is the characters and body didn't care about what happened to them.
