Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
A thrilling read that I couldn’t put down once I really got into the book’s plot—which took a little bit but reading the different perspectives was enjoyable enough to sustain my interest until I got to the nitty gritty of the story (which, once it appears, doesn’t stop and completely pulls you in). Barbara and Tracy are such compelling characters, as is Alice but I found her sections hard to read at times due to her pension for being insufferable. I loved the ending and was satisfied with the direction Moore took.
