I am six chapters into the audiobook version of this novel and I just can't be bothered anymore. I'll allow that the fact that the narrator's voice is super dreary is likely influencing my decision to ABORT! ABORT! but even putting her voice aside for the moment, I cannot be arsed to care about either Georgie or Neal. He's a drag and she's a brat. Why on earth are they together if they don't make each other happy and why on earth am I reading/listening to a novel that can't make me care about anyone in it?

I'm bummed, because RR is my homie (Omaha!) and because Eleanor and Park was such a triumph that I wanted this one to be, too.
