The Engagement


Hmmm. My reading for 2013 is not off to a great start.

I've read both of Chloe Hooper's previous book and enjoyed both of them, though probably The Tall Man more than A Child's Book of True Crime. But I was disappointed with The Engagement. It was well written, but I just didn't get it. I've noticed some people on Good Reads have been describing it as being a more literary version of 50 Shades of Grey so maybe that's why I didn't like it. Plus my feeling when I finished reading it was "So what?"
