I've never rated a book this low before. I was originally put off this book by the warning, but my book club selected it so I thought I've give it a go. I should have listened to my gut. I almost didn't finish it a few times.
Now, let me just state that I'm not a prude by any means, I've read some pretty extreme books, and I curse like a fisherman, so bad language doesn't bother me. But this book felt like a test to see how many curse words, vulgar phrases, and sex scenes could be placed in one book, held together by the slimmest of stories. The sad thing is that this could have been a great story but instead of focusing on telling the story, the author went for shock value and repetitiveness instead.

Lessa Lamb narrates and does an amazing job. Not only with the reading but the singing too. A shining diamond in this production.
