With how Molly's character was portrayed, I was hoping that more would be said or done in regards to her character development or general character exploration. It was a very basic plot with a shallow cast -- practically caricatures if you will -- and the only memorable aspect of this novel was Molly herself. The last section of the epilogue is divisive, but at least it hinted at Molly having some sort of rich inner world or personality. It's disappointing that any peek behind the curtain at her deeper motivations, etc., was saved for the very end.
