Couplets

I read this as part of the Tournament of Books Summer reading program (Camp ToB). It's clever in some ways (“Couplets” as a title for a book about coupling, come on!), has a lot of sex, and the narrator seems to be trying to develop a sense of self. It wasn't really my cup of tea, though. I was glad I could read it in two moderate sittings.

My first reading of “rhyming couplets and prose vignettes.” I didn't know what to expect.

Unfortunately, this didn't work for me at all.
Poetry is okay-ish and sometimes I liked the vignettes more than the poetry. It was overkill at many places. Never felt attached to the plot or characters, but still would give 3.5 stars for the structure and attempt.
