I just need a couple more stars here!!I can't even formulate a review. Just read this book. I read it on a plane flight and seriously almost threw my kindle in the aisle when I got to the end!!! You really have NO IIDEA!!! I usually can pretty much get things figured out, or have at least a suspicion how it's going to end but this book slapped me upside the head and reminded I'm stupid! Never saw it coming!!! Ok, this ending! Definitely made the book. I don’t want to give too much away, but it made sense because I made this assumption in the beginning of the book and was confused at first. You just have to read it as the plot twist was crazy. This could be the worst attempt at suspense ever. The only vague mystery was which gender was which - the author tried to hide this from us because we were supposed to assume that the androgynous names were specific to a gender. Sal turned out to be a man getting bullied by Charlie, his wife. But the reason we saw through this ploy was because the author refused to use pronouns. Instead of saying "I am really annoyed that I've been trying to call Sal for hours and he's ignoring me" we got this sort of thing throughout the narrative: "Sal is not picking up the phone. I'm annoyed at Sal and when I get home I will tell Sal how I feel. I will show Sal how I feel. Sal needs to know I am boss and Sal will be told". Also, the author needs to learn the difference between transitive and intransitive verbs when lying and laying. no reviews | add a review
