I had several hours of quiet before Tru Stories and her family arrived for Christmas today. I got my house clean. I did some baking. Then I had time to read. I enjoy the quiet of Christmas waiting for the kids to burst in the door ready for their last Christmas. It was a lovely time. After they left it was back to reading for me. No rest until my goal is achieved.
Today I read a book by Anita Shreve. I have read quite a few of her books. Most of them I really enjoy. Not the case with this one!! It is, They Last Time They Met. It was published in 2001. Maybe her writing has improved over time. This story is about high school sweethearts that are broken up because of an auto accident. They meet years later and have an affair. The book opens with them meeting again in their 50's. The story does not make any sense to me. I even read the discussion questions at the end.
Not going to try to analyze. It is what it is. A book I did not enjoy. I am giving the book a 2.
The count is: 4
