This is excruciating to read. I don't care how big anyone's name is. "The Edible Woman" was the most bizarre to wrap a head around and is better than this. I don't care how intelligently eloquent Margaret is either. The narration, tone, and dialogue are flat. I loathe first-person present and I loathe authors who don't know better, not to use "said" after a sentence that is a question! I will be glad to finish!

Oh dear, this is written so flatly, narration- and dialogue-wise, that my aversion to not finishing might be what gets me through. If it is the television movie I recall glimpses of when I was a youngster, the action gets almost disturbing. I hope the secondary characters are more likeable in written form. I hope authors employ "asked" / "wondered" instead of the irritating, incorrect "said", following a question.
