The book is 97% a letter to a man the main character would like to obtain as her lawyer, and that premise kind of annoyed me.  Several times in the story, I was like “why would you tell your lawyer this?”  And “if I was this lawyer, I would’ve stopped reading by now.  Get to the point!”   Fine as a story, but not as a letter.
