A review by katiebrumbelow
The Dive from Clausen's Pier by Ann Packer

3.0

The writing is well done (except for the sex scenes... "supple balls" and "handful of buttock" makes me feel icky) but the main character is an asshole. If I was rating the writing I would give a 4. If I was rating the story I'd give it a 1.5. The main character is not likable and you are stuck with her for four.hundred.pages.
I'd be willing to read Ann Packer again if I knew going in that the story was better. Without the writing i would have abandoned the story. I was curious about the whole thing but i skimmed the last twenty pages to see how it all ended. Spoiler - the ending is frustrating and stupid.
