Book number two!
Title: Harmony
Author: Joanna Goodman
Thoughts: I liked a lot of this book, even though I felt it took a while for me to care about what was happening. It suffered, a little, from a main character who verged pretty heavily on unlikeable. It's hard to stick with someone who spends the majority of 345 pages either whining and complaining or thinking about whining and complaining--even if she does have perfectly good reasons for those complaints. Such is the difficulty, sometimes, when writing a character who is not immediately lovable, or who behaves in a way most people try to believe they would not behave (right down to the jealousy and contemplation of infidelity, whining and complaining aside!)
Honestly, I wanted to know more about the other characters in this novel, because the main character exhausted me so thoroughly I could only read a chapter at a time before switching back to other novels on the go.
