Book: Other People's Marriages

An interesting read about Anna (main character) who is writing a book about marriages and what makes it work and have been gathering information from her couple friends comprising Archie and Valerie, Dave and Ruth, Tony and Jean, the latter, a divorced couple. Anna herself is having difficulty with her own relationships and seems to me to be a bit burr on finding the right man.

I like the rapport between the friends and also having married for 7 years, I can relate to some of the circumstances and emotions described in the book. However, sad to say that the ending was a bit abrupt and a disappointment. The author seems to be in a hurry to finish the story after putting efforts in building the characters and storyline. What a waste.

I would rate it a 6/10.
