After a while, the pull on Julia between her fiance and her new Italian boyfriend became repetitive and grating. Her excuses to keep putting off breaking off the engagement were silly. If she really wanted to do it in person, let him come visit you so you can get it over with! Or just break up with him over the phone.
And when I got to the point where I thought, OK, She's going to make a decision now, I realized I was only halfway through the book, and I also realized that I didn't really care which one she chose. ( )
