" Seriously fuck this book, I really really liked the book but as soon as Sammy came back into this bitches life and all of a sudden the 13 wonderful years of marriage go right out of the fucking window. (I’m stealing this from Joy’s review) the charac Seriously fuck this book, I really really liked the book but as soon as Sammy came back into this bitches life and all of a sudden the 13 wonderful years of marriage go right out of the fucking window. (I’m stealing this from Joy’s review) the character of protagonist Eva Santos Moon really put me off. I think the author wanted to show her decompensating during a time of crisis but unwittingly may have displayed Eva's narcissistic histrionic personality instead.
Scaring the bejeesus out of her children with her antics, waltzing in and out of their lives to experience the Kodak moments, leaving mundane tasks for mere mortals like cooking, cleaning and comforting the kids to her long suffering sister. And
the drinking....if one is experiencing blackouts to the point where one cannot remember making death threats at a woman who you suspect is sleeping with your husband, that you're not sure if you've drowned and murdered (and you suspect your husband is trying to protect you by taking the rap), then maybe I dunno, stop drinking? Not Bloody Marys, hot toddies with extra rum, many cups of sake etc. At the very least have to be clear-headed to be a source of strength and protection for the family. Instead she acts like a nine-year-old who needs instant gratification at every turn, her eleven-year-old daughter is making her breakfast while she 'needs her rest', she is taking cross country trips to have trysts with a married man, and when danger is in sight, she beseeches her 11 year old and 7 year old kid to protect her! Eva believes she is being haunted by spirits and yet plays with an ouija board with her kids for fun and giggles with shit predictably hitting the fan. When Eva chides her son mentally for not protecting her from her bad dating choices, one really wonders who is the adult here. Her poor son develops selective mutism from all the trauma and this poor excuse of a mother refuses to bring him back to the pediatric psychologist because of a signing of a document that whatever the son says to the psychologist is private and cannot be disclosed even with the parent. These are in place to guarantee confidentiality, especially in cases of domestic child abuse. All medical professionals are trained to recognize the signs of child abuse and the reporting of it is mandatory. The children are noted to be more mature than their age, not because of the outside world as Eva states, but as a result of coping with a neglectful irresponsible parent always putting her own needs first imo. When the going gets tough, she abandons the family to its own devices.

The childishness of Eva extends to name calling every woman she doesn't like a bitch, sometimes c***. I had whiplash with her. One moment the dead woman Cecilia is all kinds of nasty for seducing her husband, then she becomes 'our best friend,' 'fellow witch,' 'sister Wiccan.' The detective is another law enforcing 'Detective b****', until she becomes a POC heroine upholding the law. Those at school bullying her daughter for being fat are also little b****** while she has no problem with her teen self bullying and ostracizing an Asian kid for being studious. ...more "

"I hate this book so fucking much Eva is such a narcissistic bitch that goes right back to her looser deadbeat ex as soon as she’s “free” of her husband(arrested) and her kids due to her sister visiting" — Mar 13, 2023 04:48PM
