Expiration Dates

I really struggled, I couldn't warm to Daphne at all. I finished it because I was hoping there might be a twist or gotcha moment and it would all come together and be worth it.

The book jumps between the present and Daphne's past dating history. There's no dates or timeframes so it is a bit bumpy going back and forth. Plus we know none of those relationships worked out so it didn't add a huge amount to the story line. I really struggled to understand how Daphne kept dating these really handsome, rich, successful men because it doesn't gel with my take on her. She seems very average (not in a negative way) and is finding herself in terms of her career and living in LA by herself but the flashbacks are just a string of handsome, successful, rich men. There's no quirky boyfriends or equally-struggling-to-get-established boyfriends, and no dates where he's just too odd and she slips out a back door.

There was a twist about half way through and that's probably the reason I read through to the end but unfortunately it's not a book I could recommend to others.
