I am currently reading this book, and already struggling to get through it. I had also read all of the reviews, and was excited to begin reading. However, halfway through and I am already wondering how long it will take me to finish it. The beginning had promise, with the underlying currents in Mike and Carrie's relationship, the hot-headed best friends Rooster and Jaime, but I feel like the book is now wandering. All of the sudden Carrie is in New York hooking up with someone she met once in Madison. Huh? I am sure I will end up finishing this book, but I don't anticipate it being an outstanding reading experience.
