Good grief, I didn't think I could loathe Reese even more. I honestly do not understand how anybody could stand being around her, let alone entrust her with a child. Despicable!

Okay, it's not too early to say that I thoroughly despise Reese. She's not without redeeming qualities, but these cannot compensate for the stuff that triggers my intense dislike.

The novel clearly grows on me: the sense of discomfort has switched gears and now applies to descriptions of existing as a trans person, which prompts me to examine my own life - especially all the repressed parts.

I'm not certain this book is my "vibe". So far, all of the protagonists give me a strong feeling of... well, not dislike, but a sense of unease, of not relating. Like talking to a person and finding you've got nothing to talk about, despite similar interests. Pretty damning for this kind of novel, but I won't give up yet.
