A few weeks ago, Jamie Ford was coming to our library so his books were sitting right at the top of the stairs. Love and Other Consolation Prizes caught my eye and I was surprised that not only had we not read it, I’d never even heard that he had another book out. Since I needed an audiobook at the moment, I grabbed the audio version and… it took us forever to finish it. I know I say this a lot but it wasn’t the fault of the book, sometimes shit happens in my life that cause me to not feel like listening to audiobooks. There was a good bit of that in May. Anyway, the book…
Pretty good! I don’t think it was as good as Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet but it was pretty darn good. I liked all three of the main characters. I liked the setting. The way the story wrapped up let me down a little. I’m not sure what I’d have rather had happen, it just felt like not quite the right ending.
