+ Our lead narrator does very problematic and unforgivable things and yet we are in her head and Barasch crafts her so dynamic and compelling- we get not excusing but explanation of what led Naomi to this point and left with questions on accountability, trust, victimhood, and escapism.
+ A very quick read, I love how it was focused on the two women- It was hard to get a sense for anyone else but makes sense with how Naomi’s insecurities made her so self-obsessed as she was in the stalking.
+ unnerving, uneasy, it is so wrong what Naomi does and you are kept waiting for an explosive end ( and betrayed by a part of yourself feeling bad to a degree that you want everything to work out for everyone- after all the reader is held hostage by Naomi’s insecure thoughts, self-justifying, and self-sabotaging behavior you just want her to STOP )
