3.0
Opening up with a character talking to you from a woman's prison? You realize that maybe she isn't quite right? I got so excited I about peed my pants.
I've been on a total worship of Netflixing Wentworth and was hoping for some good evil woman stuff going on.
(Kelly, I will shut up one day about this show so get your finger off that unfriend button)
I shoulda realized that NO ONE tops Ferguson.
Anyways, this story is about an author who is teaching a writer's retreat. On the retreat she meets a young girl who catches her eye. Alice is free spirited with some mommy issues.
After the retreat is over-the author (Bo) wants to stay in contact to 'help' Alice with her writing.
Alice is so flattered and giddy that the great Bo Luxton wants to help her.
Then some crap goes down.
I'm not telling what. Because spoilers.
You really do need to walk into this book sorta blind to enjoy it. So there is that. Sorry to get you all excited for some juicy details.
I will say that I think one of the characters wasn't as fleshed out as the other one. BECAUSE if you are doing an evil woman I want some fleshed out.
The storyline also went predictably. So points were deducted. 2.5 stars.
