Did anyone else notice the spelling and grammar errors in their ebook copy of this novel? This is the first time that I have encountered so many in one book...

Amy I read the paper version, but I was surprised to find this sentence in it: "But that kind woman who's name I don't know, who's name I can't remember..…moreI read the paper version, but I was surprised to find this sentence in it: "But that kind woman who's name I don't know, who's name I can't remember..." (p.363). Have never before seen this kind of mistake committed twice (and thus not a typo) in a published book.(less)

And maybe that's the point...we are all flawed in some way. Kubica has a way of putting normal people on a collision course of unexpected ( and unasked for) situations and then leading the reader into what can happen. Mary Kubica's books aren't the skip- along -to -the- happy- ending books, but life is messy and all endings aren't happy. Her characters are layered and complex, as are we all. I think she left some little nuggets of hope at the end of both books...you just have to look. I liked The Good Girl, but I thought Pretty Baby was just as well done in a very different way. Worth the read, in my opinion.(less)

Chris finds the post-it note with the word 'yes' written on it. I looked back in previous chapters and can't figure out what that is an answer to. What did I miss?

He asks her where she's from, and if she's trying to get away from someone who hurt her. Heidi interrupts before he gets his answer, but Willow wrote the answer on a post it and gave it to Chris.
