This is a rare instance of DNF for me. I got halfway through the novel, and had to simply stop. Brundage's writing style isn't bad, although she seems fond of dropping cuss words into intellectual adult conservation for seemingly no reason, but the characters are ridiculously stupid. All four act like teenagers: no impulse control, wildly self-absorbed, manipulative and sullen. In fact, none of the adults in this town (outside of Albany) appear to have any ability to reasonably disagree with another human being, have an open mind or depth of personality, relate to anyone outside of the town....I kept expecting some sort of Stepford Wives scenario to unravel itself and explain this shallowness. In the end, it was just too hard for me to muster any desire to follow a trainwreck story about four adults that I roundly disliked in every way.
