I couldn't finish this book. Obviously I didn't expect it to be Harry Potter, rated PG, but her use of obscenities and the fact that I couldn't think a positive thought about any of the characters just depresses me. I didn't get very far, only 40 pp, but I have too many books TBR to spend time on something so negative. The characters thoughts were all generally mean-spirited and the people ugly. Too bad because she is a marvelous writer.
