Still Crazy is a self-published debut novel about love, infidelity, and independence. Julie has been suspicious for years that her husband Dan is cheating on her. When an unfamiliar car appears in the driveway while she's supposed to be at work one day, she once again tries to come to terms with his unfaithfulness. She spends weeks looking for more clues and talking to her best friend who doesn't believe her.
Finally, she's had enough. After writing Dan a farewell letter, she packs up and leaves. In Part Two of the narrative, she begins to build a new life on her own.
I was rooting for the author the whole time, but this book fell short. The writing was repetitive and I found several errors throughout. I didn't enjoy how it skipped around - in one paragraph Julie would be having a conversation with her friend, and in the next she's somehow talking to Dan on a completely different day. You can tell this book has not gone through a thorough editing process.
I also felt the ending was problematic. That is not the message I would have wanted to send to my readers. I could not believe she resolved Julie's story that way, and in such a swift manner.
Some may find value in connecting to Julie's emotions in this novel, but for me, it was a disappointing read.
