It was hard to see what tied together this couple Malcolm and Jess. Sure, their marriage was at a breaking point, but I thought the flashbacks would give the reader a sense of what had brought them together and kept them together for so many years. Didn’t the author want us to root for them instead of hoping Jess and her new guy went off into the sunset? 

Pieces of this were good. I was strangely fond of the bar (The Half Moon) drama. 

The relationship part I wasn’t as into.
