You Should Have Known

I tried very hard to like this book, but it was so wordy and descriptive, that it was difficult to keep plodding along. The main character, a therapist, is unlikable and smug in her rarefied New York snobby society. Her world is shaken by events beyond her control and she learns that her husband of 18 years has been leading a double life. It is hard to feel sympathy for this unlikable woman as her world crumbles beneath her feet.Very long and full of flashbacks and descriptions irrelevant to the story.
