I am sorry to say that this book became a chore to read simply because I did not enjoy the narrator. When the entire book is narrated by a character that I do not enjoy, things become difficult.
Jeremy O'Keefe makes some really questionable choices which he seems justified in, but as I reader, I had to really question. Some of those choices involve spoilers, but I couldn't help but wonder- why are you so paranoid as you know exactly what you did. We live in an age and the book takes place in an age where if one associates with a certain group of people, even unknowingly, it becomes suspect, especially when living in NYC!
I did enjoy two aspects of the book- O'Keefe's feeling of neither belonging in England nor in the US. In England he is called too American, but in America, he is called too English. I also enjoyed the way his story changes just a bit each time he tells it.
My major problem was the Jeremy's voice in the book. In small doses, I could see where he is charming or pleasant to be around, but in large chunks, I wanted to depart from him. The problem is one cannot because he is the narrator.
I did wind up finishing the book, but I will say that it was more reading just to finish rather than caring. I think this one is going to be a "I love it!" Or "I hated it!" Type of book. Sadly, I fell on the latter side. While not hating it, I just didn't enjoy it and it was due to O'Keefe himself.
I received this book from NetGalley. I have to provide an honest review and inform the reader where I received the book from.… (mehr)
