I think this should have stayed in the vault. Not because its bad, but because if you've read Marquez then you know this is unfinished. The bones are there for a very compelling story, where we want to spend more time with the MC and get to the heart of why she has decided to emotionlessly commit adultery. I would have appreciated her affairs if she had done them with conviction. But this will I? won't I? waffling when she already knows what she's about was unattractive.
