I fully agree. The novel is over-hyped and it is written like a list. First she did this. Then she did that. Then she thought this. Then she got on this train. Then she said that. Then she felt this. After 100 pages of it I gave up. But why are there so many enthusiastic reviews? Maybe people just want a new idea and don’t care about the way a book is written. They will follow the experience-by-numbers telling quite happily, with brain in neutral, as long as they can have something satisfying presented to them.
