After her husband goes to jail for defrauding people of their money, Suzanne starts a new life for herself and tries to forget her part in his crimes.
This is a book of terrible people being terrible. Not a single character had any redeeming qualities. Also the writing was crude. Any time it tried to be deep, it was ruined by the crude comments about sex or people’s bodies.
The part with the Ted Talk was honestly disturbing. Suzanne didn’t make any sense half the time. I did not enjoy this book.

The prose was beautiful, the story was just fine. The story line with the whale was far more compelling than any of the actual characters or their problems/lives
