The writing stype is truly fine, and the book could have been better with an entirely different story. This story line, if we can use the term here, lacked credibility, meandered, and finally, focused altogether too much on the narrator's selfhood. With no thought of the possible and myriad consequences of her actions on other people, she goes forward with "creating" a really implausable life for herself. I never thought I'd ever say it, but "Puh-leez"!
