   This is a novel I read from beginning to end without missing a single paragraph. I found myself reading on without even realizing it, although it wasn't incredibly captivating; I kept thinking I might not want to continue after reading the rest. The beginning reminded me of past relationships with unsuitable men—those ordinary guys who cling to you, wanting to live off you, then resorting to all sorts of slander and moral blackmail, all because you're unemployed, uneducated, poor, and unattractive, yet still want a girlfriend. They think moral blackmail is the only solution. I deeply resonated with this; the descriptions were poignant and came from real life. The best part was probably the epilogue—it was surprisingly good.
