Sooo. As the previous one, a book that had been sitting on my kindle for some time, don't know how it got there, and don't much care. It had its moments, but as a whole, the stars are basically for effort.
The story is about Tony Webster. He reminisces A LOT about his teenage and adult friends, one in particular, Adrian, who started dating his former girlfriend, Veronica, after which he cut all ties with him in a very unpleasant way. Years later, after a friendly divorce, father to an adult himself, and (if I say so myself) living as much a mediocre life as always, he gets a letter that says he got something in a will from Veronica's mom, of all people. It is some money, plus Adrian's diary (he committed suicide some years before), which is now in Veronica's possession.
Bored to tears already? The thing is, the narrative is good enough to keep you going for some time. But the story is barely worth wasting that sort of talent, anyway.
