This review is from: A House By the Sea (Mass Market Paperback)

Bought the audio download at [...]. This is possibly the most boring repetitive book I've ever read or listened to. If you like your fiction moving at a snail's pace and extremely repetitive as the heroine mulls over and over and over and over her decisions (actually, lack of them) you just might enjoy this book.
