David Character Analysis

David is Monique’s husband. At the beginning of the book, the couple is separated, and David is living in San Francisco. The separation allows Monique to reassess her relationship with him, and she ultimately realizes that she’s not all that sad about the marriage ending—in fact, David was a safe option for a partner, and he never truly fulfilled her.

Chapter 4 Quotes

I sit on my couch, open my laptop, and answer some e-mails. I start to order something for dinner. And it is only when I go to put my feet up that I remember there is no coffee table. For the first time since he left, I have not come into this apartment immediately thinking of David.

Instead, what plays in the back of my mind all weekend—from my Friday night in to my Saturday night out and my Sunday morning at the park—isn’t How did my marriage fail? but rather Who the hell was Evelyn Hugo in love with?
