I was uncomfortable with the stylistic language and portrayal of a character from a small town that tended to come across a bit forced. The logic of the characters held together fairly well in their actions and motivations. The shock ending also felt like a formula approach for books of current popularity.

Very good read. I was always waiting for something to improve Ruth's situation. This is a book you will think of often after reading it.
