The Solitude of Prime Numbers by Paolo Giordano
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Developmental Agony

I’m not sure how this book has been marketed or how I encountered it, but it’s definitely YA not adult fiction. Lots of schmaltzy tragedy and teenage angst with a core of unlikely coincidence. Very hard going if you’re over age 21 I suspect. Definitely a waste of time for an old stump such as myself. The most significant effect of reading the thing is a feeling of vaguely regretful embarrassment for an afternoon I can’t recover. So unless you’re into mean girls, oblivious parents, eating disorders and self-harming, you’ll want to give it a miss.
