At 35, Lia
has wondered if it was too late to adopt. Not that she seriously wanted kids,
because she was overall satisfied with her life with Jake. Until recently, she
and Jake have always been in synch, but lately it just seems that she has been
second in his life. He's not following The
Plan. Then, like a punch in the guy, Jake announces that he's leaving her.
Story has a
slow start, then it progresses with Lia's ponderings of her recent separation
and her life amidst the company of pedestrian characters. Frankly, I wasn't too
taken by any of this. Between her and Jake, all I got was a barrage of memories
and endless musings. I didn't feel like the
story went anywhere. I mean, what was
the meaning of forgetting Ophelia? I
honestly anticipated for Lia to take on more of an independent role―for her to
take charge of her life. Although the story was well-written and contained a
poetic feel, I just wasn't too impressed by the development.
My rating: 2 stars
