I listened to this on audio, unabridged. It was alright. It made me think in an annoying southern accent though.
I don't think I have ever read a book that used the word "said" so much. She said, I said, she said, I said, he said, they said, said, said, said. I'm sure the author did it on purpose for rhythm or something, but I gotta say, it was annoying for me.
Sort of spoilers below, nothing major.
It was the kind of book that made me really hate one of the characters. Hank. What a loser. I wanted to go out to his barn, and grab a shovel and whack him upside the head with it. He redeemed himself a tiny bit by the end of the book, after the way he took care of the baby, but only a little. She was waaaaaaaaaaay too good for him. If I were her, it'd be called Gap Creek: The Story of a Divorce. :-)
