The Fifth Surgeon

Dnf.

I started loving this, the characters were funny, seemed to have depth, and were interesting and well-rounded but this soured so much before the end.

Spoilers ahead:

But I didn't look at the tags so I didn't know there would be cheating in this. Personally, I'm very against cheating, in real-life situations, I still know it happens and in some cases, it's more or less frowned upon. And while it's not my favorite trope or plot device I can stand it when there are compelling arguments from the cheater's perspective, and the matter is addressed as it is, without anybody involved pretending it wasn't what it was. The first thing is real here, one of our main characters has been in a committed relationship with a man for the past 10 years, and she loves him as her best friend, but she is a lesbian, and she needed to experience it to realize her true feelings. What bothers me is the book trying to pass her betrayal as something simple as "neglecting to mention some details" when she actually betrayed and lied to 2 different people, her boyfriend and the other main character in this book. Throughout the whole book said character acts like a jerk but is always left out of the rook on the account of being brilliant, smart, and groundbreaking when she is often rude, unprofessional, and an asshole.

And I just can't with that, they're not teens, they're 30's women for god sake, that ain't cute.
