I don't know what it is with Margaret Atwood. I found Handmaid's Tale to be one of the most thought provoking, wonderfully written books I've ever read in my life. However, every other book I have picked up by her has fallen short. In my experience, I have to be able to relate to at least one of the characters. While I could relate to some of the things that happened in this book, I didn't find myself relating the actual character and her motivations. It left me frustrated.

All in all, I thought Cat's Eye was better than other books I've read by her (excluding Handmaid). I really WANT to like this author after the amazing work she did on Handmaid, but I'm finding this difficult and it makes me almost want to give up on her. Luckily, I have two other books that I still haven't read, so she basically has two more chances with me:) I won't give up yet.
