The reviews here and the commentary written on the book itself make me wonder if I'm reading a completely different copy... but that can't be true...
From page one, you can tell this story is about a bitch. From chapter two you can tell this story is about a manipulative bitch. From chapter three, you can tell this story is one of the ones that holds back the real story from the reader. Unfortunately, it doesn't do a very good job of giving anything else to hold the reader over until the big reveal. Parker is just plain unlikeable to me... I see other reviewers claiming she's depressed, but she obviously has the energy to carry out her crazy alienating tactics and never once is immobilized by despair or guilt. Then again, I did skim from page 20.
Just one of those books that makes me wonder if I'm reading what other people are reading.
