The Sweet Edge




by Alison Pick


It's a bad sign when a book has no reader reviews on amazon.com even though it was published almost a year ago. Was it so unappealing that no one read it or so mediocre that no one cared enough to post a review? Either way, its usually a bad omen. The Sweet Edge has a promising plot about a young couple separating for a summer to decide whether they should continue their relationship. Ellen spends her time working at her art gallery and Adam leaves town for a canoe trip in the Arctic. The way the story goes back and forth between past and present was confusing, and while the dialog was sparse, the descriptive passages felt meandering and strangely long. Just did not like this one.
