I wanted to like this book so badly, but I just couldn't.
The incredibly descriptive child abuse scenes
The horrible character names
The massive plot holes
The fact that there is no way a mother wrote those scenes about her own kids and found it "therapeutic"
The long scenes about things that never end up being relevant to the story (as you pointed out)
I was just so disappointed at the end of it. It felt like the only scenes that had any thought put into them were the sex scenes.
Also, I couldn't help but notice that the voice of Verity in her manuscript and her phrases were super similar to the speaking style of Lowen. Like... every person's personality and mannerisms felt the same.
