Sometimes it's difficult to decide on a rating of a book written by a favored author. That's where I'm at with this book. The audio was very well done, the narrator was wonderful, and in the beginning was totally hooked. But, as the book goes on, which on my opinion is too long, I started to get frustrated. Much extraneous material that again I could have done without, served only to take away from what was supposedly the main plot. Since it's meant to represent violence against women, the me too movement it's almost like she felt she add to add these things simply to shore up that argument.

What I did like was the writing, she is a stellar author and I've loved her other books. I liked reading about Bodie and her school days, up to a point. But alas, though I'm usually a fan of an author trysting her reader to figure out loose ends, in this book after this long of a story I would have liked amore definite resolution.

Martha☀ Great review, Diane. I also have qualms about giving a lower rating to a favourite author.
