Wrote a review for

I always hear people talk about disliking this book and I don’t see why. I really enjoyed the book, and it was nice to finally see the other side of the story as this book has a small connection with Dolores Claiborne. Maybe people don’t like the talk about sex, but it really isn’t a big part of this book, or it could be because the book is entirely to the point of view of the main character who may be seeing things.

Since it is entirely one women’s internal monolog it can be slow, and I found the good wife voice to be a little too much at times. If the book was shorter, I would have maybe rated the book a little higher. I did like the discussions the book brings to the reader about trauma and how the charter confronts what has happened and what’s still happening.

The moonlight man had some of the best parts of the book and I loved the ending. IF the book had more to do with the moonlight man, I think this would have brought the book to a higher level. Still, I would recommend reading this book at least once as the fear of being trapped to the bed and under all that trauma is incredibly written.
