While this book is marginally better than the last few, I'm still not impressed. Anita has the emotional range of a 16 year old and all of her characters need therapy. Thankfully, this one has a plot, though you have to get through the whining, repeating, self-depreciation, and all the usual "Everyone hates me because they are jealous" crap. I keep reading LKH in hopes that she gets back to the awesomeness that was the earlier books. Nope.
