2.5 rounded up (Listened to the audiobook)
I was disappointed considering this book was shortlisted for the Booker prize. I found the character unbelievable and unrelatable. So much of it could have been more interesting but fell flat.

Love and Other Though Experiences sounds interesting but it also sounds a little similar to a short story I read recently.
I'm currently reading Burnt Sugar and I'm not finding neither the plot nor the characters interesting. I didn't like Shuggie Bain much neither. I thought both of them are about topics that have already been discussed in several books and in better ways

I have found the Booker Prize does not always guarantee enjoyment!
