I may have pushed the husband overboard

This is my latest book finish. It was up front in all the “you should read this book” lists. I think it could be that the state of the world right now is influencing my likes, loves, okay, and blah ratings of books. I just thought it was alright. It was certainly not dazzling and maybe that’s because I could not connect for some reason with the main characters. Yes, the premise that the couple survives because of the sheer will of the woman, is interesting but come on, I think that happens all the time in life. It’s only 6 hours (if you listen), so not a huge investment either way. Honestly, and take this with a grain of salt, I may have pushed the husband overboard. At the end of the book, there is a recap of what happens after they are rescued. This part was really irritating, and may be why I wanted to have pushed the husband overboard. Would love to know what others thought.

    I recently just finished The Correspondence and had similar ambivalent feelings. It wasn’t a bad read but I didn’t love it and regret investing in the hardcover. I followed up with Unraveled which is a memoir of a knitter who wanted to do a project from sheering the sheep to finished sweater. It was great and I highly recommend it, especially since you knot. I realize that I’m not really speaking to your question, but my circle of fellow readers is small…so here you go. Lol

    Oh good grief….why do I try to respond using my phone with these fat fingers?! I recommend Unraveled because you knit …not knot.

      Deb: I will check out Unraveled. Thanks for the tip. I am catching up on some podcasts for a bit while I wait for a few things to come in from the library.

        Unraveling by Peggy Orenstein. To make searching easier. It’s a quick read. I think you’ll enjoy it whenever you get to it. Deb
