Query: What a whiner!

I have read some of this author's other works and found them quite enjoyable. I had to force myself to finish this book, and that's a rarity for me. The main character, Annemarie, is so selfish as to be unbearable. At close to 40 years of age, she was way too irresponsible and refused to acknowledge her role in a series of life-altering events. She was conveniently able to blame everyone but herself. I really wish I could recoup the time I wasted on this book.
