Wish I'd quit sooner on this one

 The Wise Women

It started out really good, but then became boring and tedious and repetitive. I thought I liked the characters--they certainly seemed likeable. It was the story that was dull to the max, which seemed impossible when you're writing about a woman with a difficult child and a husband who pretended to make the mortgage payments on their house but really just ploughed the money into a hopeless startup company. And a sister who has a girlfriend much younger than her who might be cheating. And a mother who butts in without good sense.

It just dragged, and when I tried to skim to the end, I found I didn't care how it ended.
