Who Do You Love by Jennifer Weiner
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
Thank goodness that is over! I really hate posting bad reviews because I know that reading a book is a personal thing, and also, the author put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into the long writing process, however, this book just felt like pages and pages of cliches.
Rachel is a young, white, middle class Jewish girl in hospital after having heart surgery. One evening, bored on the hospital ward, she wheels herself down to A&E in a wheelchair to watch the world go by. In comes young Andy, a mixed race boy with a single mum, from the wrong side of town, with a broken arm. Himself and Rachel get chatting and he goes off to have his arm examined and they never see each other...until...!
What happens next is a lot of "bumping" into each other over the years, and a love affair that lasts a lifetime.
I was really disappointed with this and found that reading it was like wading through treacle, perhaps I wasn't in the right frame of mind for it, but to me it just felt like it was churned out.
