This was a decent read, but rather neutral to me. I followed the narration on a somehow detached way.
Not been a native English speaker and the author using some kind of Scottish slag, the writing needed some getting used to, but after a while I didn't find it that hard. I kind of liked following Morvern Callar around on her decadent life, but I found some plot points unconvincing. I would maybe expect some explanation on why He committed suicide and some more detailing of Morvern's feelings and reasoning of her actions. I'd like to see a less vague ending of the book too.
All that said, leaving the whole thread of Him aside, I didn't find the characters of Morvern and all the others that much unlikely. I've met many of the type in real life. I didn't connect with any of the characters, but didn't hate them either.
I'm glad I read this, but it didn't touch me much
