Here is a list of things that don’t make mundane infidelity story interesting to me:
• Asian representation
• Lesbians
• Artists
• Fairy tale framing stories
This book, about a married photographer who meets a ballerina at party who becomes both her muse and lover, has all those things, and unsurprisingly they failed to make this story interesting. Not because any of those things aren’t interesting, but because I find infidelity stories to be inherently mundane.
