I'm so disappointed. The book is ruined at this point. I'll speed read only to finish it, but I have no interest in the story anymore 🙄
I'll talk about it in my review.

What a rollercoaster this book is. It started with a 5 stars scene, then it felt to a 2 stars book and I almost abandoned it. I continued reading it and it suddenly became a 5 stars again and it was a page turner all the way to the end of part one, which is half way the book. Now it felt back to a 2 stars, and I'm about to abandone it for real this time 🤔

Note for my review : Belinda e the most empowered woman from all the book I ever read. My humble opinion. Reasons for that: she's a child survivor, and she is in complete alone in life as a teenager on the streets of San Francisco. Jeremy ? Oh Jeremy, it was great while it lasted. On to the next, in search of someone who will not hurt Belinda. Is she ever going to find that person? Who's Belinda at age 45?

Note for my review: ok, first, let's put into a box one thing. The characters are not real people. Thas means I will drop the moral judgment I have on them. And I will say nothing more about it for except one thing, I would not be friends with them.
Second, I'm currently reading two people portrait women by two completely opposite views. Anna Karenina and Belinda should cross paths in the #booklife one day.

A male's fantasy. Interesting characters, they are so raw and so real. The events are not the strongest part of this book, but Anne Rice write so well (she writes SO well) that it's easy to dismiss the illogical situations only to keep reading it. It feels like this book was written for a specific audience that probably was paying upfront for that type of novel. I'm not her audience, but again, she writes so well...
