Review: Could not be more boring

The premise of this book interested me... a woman gets a package not meant for her but for an irritating neighbor and when she delivers the package (oddly, first, taking everything out of the box and then putting it in a gift bag... which I found a VERY strange thing to do) she becomes interested in her stories.The problem is, she almost instantly begins ignoring her own family and ducks out of a family vacation on the flimsiest excuse ever so she can continue listening to this person she half fears tell her a bizarre story in tiny increments.The story she's being told is SO uninteresting and not even mildly compelling I can't even imagine canceling plans with my ex husband, who I prefer not to see at all under any circumstances, in order to listen to the tale.I read and read and read and at every twist in the story I was just like... good lord, when will it end until I finally just stopped reading.Potential spoiler since I did not finish the book follows:This woman has a child with a Pakistani professor who then kidnaps her and tho I didn't finish the story, I am going to assume he did something with the child or she did.The main character just happens to have an adopted child who looks like she might be half Pakistani and half white. Gee... I can't imagine where this story was going to go.
