“People don’t like my protagonist.”
“Why not?”
“They don’t understand her.”
“Does she understand herself?”
“She thinks she does, but her insipid poor.”

It’s extremely hard to like any of the characters in this book. However, I did find Gerrard’s writing captivating. The book is extremely raunchy and vulgar & will make you feel uncomfortable. Certainly not everyone’s cup of tea.
