So. much. talky-talky. I have commented before that the pacing of L.H.'s books get bogged down in the minutiae and this one is no exception. We're at 31% and haven't even managed to move from the gym to a bedroom. Every other scene Anita is triggered or faces some kind of therapy session point and the thriller/cop/even the supernatural aspects of the storyline just get watered down in all the Dr. Phil.

I think if she didn't try to include the whole damn cast and allow some of the conversations and poly negotiation occur 'off screen', it would solve a lot of the pacing problems. There are just too many moving parts at this point to give screen time to every single one. I'm glad Anita is in therapy and I think therapy is a great tool, but here it just drags the story further into gridlock when we are examining every shovel-full of shit that she's got in her pile.
