DNF page 79. Wrong book at the wrong time for sure, though I don't know if there will ever be a right time with this one. I got this from my Bookcase Club romance box - and I know there's some debate whether Sparks actually qualifies as a romance writer - but so far this is not so much a romance as a painful story of two people who are painfully bad at being married and who are on their way to a painful divorce. And look, I just wanted some happy - I'm not currently in my own home, my son is in the NICU (he's doing fine, was just premature, though his long stay is taking its toll on me), and I want to get through the day with as little emotional distress as possible. Maybe when I don't have to drive 20 minutes, get my temperature taken, go to the 14th floor and make a phone call in order to see my baby, I'll be interested in fictional characters doing things other than falling in love.
