I’m not sure if I liked it? If it was good? Right now I’m at a 4 but that might change.
As a therapist, it’s wild that she didn’t see any of what was going on.

I listened to 90% of this in one day, I got 60% through just doing gardening and it was around that time that I decided it was a bad book but I also felt that I was too far along to give it up. So I can say I did finish this but I wish I hadn't.
It is also glaringly apparent that the author went to Cambridge (you can always just tell, can't you?). I read somewhere that he used to write movies that went from bad to worse and finally gave it up. Maybe it's time to give up books too.
Moderate: Animal cruelty

The ending perhaps would have brought this down to three, but the true reason I gave it two stars?
He killed a dog. Unnecessarily. A rule very rarely to be broken, and for this plot purpose, certainly not the exception needed to break it.
