Split-Level

What an absolutely beautiful cover...

The 70s atmosphere and the suburban setting were excellently depicted. The character of Alex had some potential but the marital issues of a couple facing a thing called ‘'7-year-itch'' and the swingers ‘'aesthetic'' have little to do with what I consider Literature. I don't read these...''books'' so I dare say I was slightly deceived by the blurb. Atrocious dialogue, zero character development. It's a pity, really, because the prose and the setting were really promising. Had the direction of the story been different, I would have enjoyed this one. As it stands...

Excuse me, but no.

Many thanks to She Writes Press and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
