I just finished this.
I loved the book but I have to admit I really struggled with it. I was so angry at Elliot for just rolling over and letting his wife make this ridiculous request of him, especially when she said “he is the one with the decision to make.” That was just so wildly manipulative and she treated him so horribly throughout the entire book. I don’t feel like the author did much or anything to make Claire sympathetic at all, and j am wondering if that because….she isn’t and wasn’t meant to be? Or because the book was so devoted to Elliot’s point of view?
It was such a vivid illustration of the loneliness epidemic that men are in and how it really leaves men with few good options when they really need support.
