This seemed to be the book to read in 2015, yet I was underwhelmed by the whole story. The first 65% of the book "Fates" is the husband's story. The remaining 35% is "Furies" and the wife's story. The wife's story is more interesting and it was a problem that there was a lot less of it. The twists at the end weren't that exciting to me. I was left feeling disappointed.

This book is unlike anything I've ever read. In fact, I wasn't sure how to even rate it. At first I thought it was going to be a standard how we met story (nope!) and then I thought it might be a mystical origin story (nope!) and then I thought it would be a duel perspective story (and it is but NOT in the way you think). Anyway, any more words about this book would be considered a spoiler so I'll just leave you with this - love is a complicated affair.

Not liking the characters doesn't help me get into this book. The husband is a self-absorbed actor/writer, the wife a cold sylph. They have so much sex that they must be taking all sorts of enhancement drugs. Their friends are obnoxious, sleazy and whiny.
That being said, the author did the best she could with loathe some characters. ...more

A technically well-written, pretentious, and unlikeable book full of unloveable characters. Can't believe I let it waste my time.
