Query: Boring and without focus

I found the book dry and the characters boring. Carrie Debary was the heroine--and I use the word loosely. There was nothing heroic about Carrie's behavior. Her husband, Alex was involved in a boating accident, which left him paralyzed, and instead of watching out for her husband, CArrie was contemplating having an affair with the man that worked for her and her husband.Carrie was so low-class with no redeeming qualities. While her husband was in a convalescent home, trying to regain the use of his legs, Carrie was running around on a motorcycle with a man she had the hots for, and drinking beer. There was a scene that showed Carrie drinking these men under the table. She was just terrible, as was the book. It was just too descriptive, and the dialogue was lifeless
