All I can say is, "Wow". I really hated this book. I was initially excited to dive into it because the premise was a good one. But this author hasn't met a description he doesn't like. If he could say it in two words, he used ten! I have never seen such wordiness in descriptions of things before and hope to never again! I should've used my 50 page rule, and that was my mistake. 137 pages in and I just couldn't any more. And, no 40 yo woman thinks about sex as often as the author portrays our main character! And I was a 40 yo woman at one time! Geesh! Do yourself a favor and pass on this word salad of a book!
