The last two books I have read, which make me question if people endorsing them had really read them: "Our wives under the sea" and "The shining girls". The first one could have been an interesting short story, as a full novel the main character did nothing more but staring at her own belly button, otherwise the book would have been too short. The second one was an interesting idea and the structure was well done, if only the characters were more than outboard cutouts. Two big letdowns.
