Carry the One: A Novel por Carol Anshaw
Very wel written- I was involved with the characters almost immediately, and had a hard time putting it down. A must-read.
Christine Snow, a therapist, has just been left by her lover, Taylor. Taylor has left without a trace. As Christine looks for her, she comes to realize that there were aspects of Taylor's personality that Chris didn't know. Could she have? This isn't a thriller, it's an introspective look at how much we can really know about a person's deepest thoughts; about how much others choose to share of themselves. Sometimes funny, always insightful. A good, thought provoking read.
2.5 stars.
I should have passed on this book. I read one of her others a few years back and it was, how do I say it, a little better than this one.
I almost gave up half way through but decided to finish it just to get it over with.

They were all different personalities with issues of their own throughout the whole book. Alice was sort of okay but her on/off relationship with her lesbian girlfriend got a little old and the sex was not graphic but too much for me and I'm not a prude.… (más)
