So my Mom read the hype about a book — Woman at the Window — and thought it would just be amazing. Number 1 on the NYT best-sellers list with a ton of positive reviews, I bought it. It’s the last time I’ll take advice from Mom about reading material. Ever.
I typically buy audio books because I can listen while I’m on the treadmill, and that’s what I did in this instance too. The first 3 hours were basically the ramblings of a drunk, mentally challenged woman. I have 4 hours to finish and it’s getting better — and the narration is great — but just enough to motivate me to struggle through to the end. I’m curious how many times the words “wine” and “merlot” are used, how many black and white movies are watched and/or quoted, and how many times the wacky woman mentions her “robe.”
I give this book 2 stars — but THIS “woman” at the window gets a big 5 stars from me:
