I found myself thinking “I'd rather have read the magazine version of this story” multiple times during the reading.

It just felt long and arduous (which in part may be reflective of my own reading rut.) I found the author's attitude and lack of grace for any other human in this story hard to swallow at times. If it was anger from an adolescent, I'd understand, but she's in her 50s. By this point she should surely know that humans are fallible and complicated, and our parents are not omnipotent beings but humans just like ourselves.

Do not get me wrong- it would certainly be shocking to find out what she did.
