This is a beautiful story exemplifying the idea that there are consequences for every choice we make. Bad choices continue to multiply and affect so many people. But in the long run we always have a choice to forgive or to be resentful and hate. Those choices are played out in this sad but meaningful story. Personally, I believe this was a sad but terrific play on those choices!!

Hi Arlene! It’s true, this is one of the first books I have read where I actually understood and empathized with the bad characters! Thank you for the comment!

I really liked this book, too. It is commendable how the author managed to create such complex, real characters. When these characters made decisions that I knew were going to lead to trouble, I understood exactly why they were doing what they were doing, and I felt I would do the same in the same circumstances. Even when these characters were working in opposition to each other, I sympathized with each one in turn. I can’t remember the last time I read a book where it was so easy to empathize with characters making bad choices.

I love seeing the quotes that stand out to certain readers. The quote you highlighted is perfect, but not one I particularly noticed while reading through. Love it.

I too loved the book. And I think you’re right, it does speak to women readers in a particularly intimate way.
