Book twenty-five: The Uncoupling by Meg Wolitzer

Hey, I finished another book finally! I enjoyed this read, even though I initially had trouble keeping some of the characters straight. The premise is that the women (young, middle-aged, and old) are placed under a spell that makes it impossible for them to be intimate with their partners. The men grow increasingly frustrated. And it all comes to a head when the new drama teacher directs the students in the school play, Lysistrata. Examining all sorts of relationships in various stages, Wolitzer shows how passion changes and the differences between adult and adolescent love.

25 down plus 27 to go.
