The beginning of this book was troubling but mainly because the author used too much Dublin slang and I hadn't a clue what she was talking about. After awhile, it settles into a nice depressing story that was like a train wreck you just can't look away from.

I really want to give the book 2 1/2 stars. It was just very slow to me. The tiny print did not help. And I did not appreciate the ending. I definitely feel like others in that I was cheated!

If anyone has read the second book, let me know if it is worthwhile to read. I really just want to know if the ending I wanted in the first book is at all in the 2nd or even the third, if anyone has read that one.
