Query: Beyond painful

i just kept thinking, what's the payoff? Will Arrival Day bring the arrival of a nuclear bomb? Or the bubonic plague, to wipe out the most tedious and irritating characters ever created? Will Piranahconda suddenly rise from the toilet and devour the entire freakishly extended clan... PLEASE?I read this because there was literally nothing else in the house I hadn't read, and I vaguely remembered enjoying an Anne Tyler novel years back...I should have dropped it after the first chapter, but I couldn't actually believe it was just going to meander along and then stop, for no apparent reason. The only note in the entire book that rang true was when there was something about one of the kids hating Arrival Day. Yeah, me too, kid.
