The book started off well enough. A confused 53 year old questioning her choices in life. I wanted to read on and did. But, the characters were so annoying and their personalities so irritating that I found I couldn't empathize with any of them.Perhaps the most underwhelming was the "Non-character", Will Allenby. Such an unsympathetic "wuss" and hardly a love interest in the making. The whole relationship was left so unresolved and left me wondering why.The book ended abruptly in my eyes and I was left disppointed. It seemed to me that there was no closure to any of the plot lines, with the exception of Poppy making it to his 100th birthday. Overall, a real yawn for me.
