While You're Away - Jessa Holbrook

Well, that was short and to the point.

 

I don't understand why this book has to be separated into six novellas? Why not just actually write a book? Why tell it in choppy fifty-page increments?

 

I don't get it. I really don't. The writing was good enough, but I can't sympathize with someone who cheats on their significant other. I just can't. And it moved so quickly that the story didn't even begin before Will had his tongue down Sarah's throat.

 

So...meh.
