But I was reading the audiobook, so that makes it harder to refer back. Made it hard to follow until I got far enough into the story to remember their names. One thing I didn't like was the way the author sometimes referred to characters by their first name, and other times by their last. She finally comes up with a solution, but like her, it's pretty dumb. But what can she do? She doesn't want to hurt her flesh and blood, nor does she want to bring shame to her husband and his snobbish family. Her mother seems a bit dumb, but finally figures out what is going on. Fortunately, she seems so nice and polite, not to mention cute, that many people don't say no. If she wants something, you'd better not say no. The main character is a sweet, young girl on the outside, and a cold-blooded psychopath on the inside. Many of them seemed to be caricatures of themselves - if that's the correct word for exaggerated peculiarities. Some of it was humorous - the strange characters especially. It was OK, but sounded better to me than it turned out to be.
