👶👶 Revolutionary Road, by Richard Yates

This book was a frustrating read for me, and was, quite certainly, overrated. I have such a hard time with characters whose "grass is always greener" approach to life ultimately leads to their demise. In this case, the female protagonist is unable -or unwilling- to see her blessings, which ultimately leads to disaster. To that end, I was unsympathetic with the characters and their narcissistic views. Perhaps if the characters' true emotions had been delved into deeper, it could have been a much richer novel.
