I couldn't help but find myself constantly annoyed and frustrated by the two main characters in This Blessed House. Sometimes I hate a character so much that I want to keep reading just to find out what happens to him. But in this story, I was so bothered that I almost wanted to stop reading, and just not finish the story. I finished it anyway. Only to find myself hating the characters even more.
I'd have to say I'm more flustered by Sanjeev. From the very beginning he is a pretentious graduate of MIT. Ok, ok, he's a smart guy, I'll give him props for that. But does he have to be so anal. I hate that all he cares about is appearance. Honestly, give it up, live a little. Who cares what the neigbors think!? Obviously it doesn't even matter because his coworker noticed and was quite intrigued by the Mary statue in the yard. The Jesus painting Sanjeev was embarrassed by was awed at by the guests. Sanjeev is just a little too shallow for me. Honestly, he only got married so he wouldn't be lonely. Baaaaad choice! Sanjeev was the most annoying character I've ever met in a book and would definitley never be able to tolerate him in real life.
Now Twinkle, I'm just frustrated by her. On one hand I want to like her, because she is so care-free and independent. She just seems like a strong, confident woman. She doesn't care what others think, and it the story it ends up working in her favor! But on the other hand I can't stand her either. She is so lazy and absent minded. I can't blame Sanjeev for getting annoyed by her (but then he shouldn't have married her). I'm frustrated by Twinkle's character because I can't decide if I like her or not.
