Familiar Diversions
I'm a librarian who loves anime, manga, and reading a wide variety of genres.
Currently reading
Reading progress update: I've listened 316 out of 479 minutes.
I don't really like these characters and am not particularly attached to the narrator, so I increased the narration speed.
There's a bit of a love triangle going on, and I dislike it. It involves Clare, who has been divorced for a number of years, and either her ex-husband or the cop who's helping her with the "accident" at her coffee house (the cops are no longer officially investigating, because there's no evidence of foul play).
The ex-husband: At some point before or after their marriage collapsed, he was addicted to cocaine. He's supposedly clean now, and trying to worm his way back into Clare's life. He's a charmer, and it doesn't hurt that his mother, who is also Clare's boss and coffee idol, is on his side.
The cop: He's married and has at least one child. He's been pretty closed-mouthed, but it seems like his marriage is having problems, and he seems potentially as interested in Clare as she is in him.
Of the two options, I prefer the ex-husband because he seems to have genuinely grown up a bit from however he was when he and Clare were together. Still, he is only the lesser of two evils. These options suck.
