I couldn't identify with the main character, Rosie. The author only described superficial details about her, and gave no insight into the death of her infant daughter, so to me, it really seemed like she was being ridiculous and hypervigilant about her son. I couldn't get upset over the way she was treated, because I agreed with everyone else that she was suspicious. Then there was that predictable ending. This book exemplifies why I usually don't like "who done it" stories. The author tries to throw you off track and drag things out until the end, only within the last few pages to find a quick and implausible ending. I saw no real reason for the "bad guy/girl" to do what he/she did, but I knew all along it was him/her. In books like this, the bad person is always the one who seems too much like the good person. If you like this sort of thing, go for it. I didn't enjoy it much.

I didn't like this book at all. I thought it was boring. I think I'm supposed to feel sorry for the woman but I don't. I only felt put off by the details of her thoughts and emotions, and just forced myself to finish the whole thing. The ending was also predictable.
