The main character, a woman, was plausible.
Like life, the conclusion did not tie up all the loose ends in an emotionally satisfying way.
What I didn't like:
The factual errors. If you're trying to go to North Berkeley via BART and you get on the Pittsburg Bay Point train in error, when you get to Rockridge, you only have to return to MacArthur, not to 19th Street to get on the Richmond train. Also, although BART maps are color coded, I've never heard the Richmond train called the Red Line. On the other hand, why am I being so picky about these details? It is fiction after all.
The book should have been about 200 pages rather than 400 pages.
My rating: *** (out of 5)
Oddly enough, I'm tempted to give more stars in case the author reads this review. I guess that shows how much I believed the book while reading it.
