Contemplating the likely end of a friendship that never really began: the kind of relationship where you never feel a deep attachment, just a kind of vague tolerance for the other person. The issues we had were minor, and not even worth discussing, but they were enough to make me keep my distance.

Recommendation: Sarah Caudwell's Hilary Tamar mysteries, starting with THUS WAS ADONIS MURDERED (1981). Delightfully erudite, witty, twisty, and full of joyful energy. Sadly, the author herself died in 2000 at the age of 60, ending the series at only four books.
