I don't know how to feel.

No one in the book is reliable or can be trusted, but it seems to be true that Josie and Walter's relationship began when she was a teenager and he was in his forties. HE IS A PEDOPHILE AND SHE WAS ABUSED. No matter what happened later or if she "manipulated him".

The audiobook has great production though, 5 stars for that.

Near the end you can kind of guess how it’s going to shake out,  but I still very much enjoyed reading it and looked forward to finding out how it was all going to come together at the end.
