The loneliness of sunny and Sonia - with continuing?

[Anonymous]

Ha! I just read it last week on spring break and I was SO close to quitting halfway. Honestly only continued because it was the only book I had on the plane home. The first half was excruciating, everyone was just incredibly boring, self-centered, and unlikable.

I did end up liking the second half a lot more. Like others said, once the artist was gone it picks up and has a decent ending. Way too long, though, and not sure it was worth the time investment. I'd never have put the time in to finish it if I wasn't on vacation.

I was really looking forward to this book, but I am not enjoying it at all. I felt so optimistic even through the first bumps but I'm now seventy pages in and just can't do it. Disappointing.
