Found this book on my bookshelf, I think it was my mother-in-law's from the 70s.
I enjoyed the book, but was a little disturbed by reading the ending at the beginning. I guess it works for some, but when I got to the end I was disappointed because I had already known how it would end. I understood when I got to the end why the author did this, I just didn't like it...a personal preference I guess. While I don't want to admit I couldn't "put the book down" I did read about 90% in one sitting.
The characters were well developed, especially Theresa. I felt myself identifying with each of the characters in the book in some way.
There were some parts of the book where I felt she just went into too much detail about things irrelevant to the development of the main character. If it's just a 'guy she slept with at the bar' are we really supposed to care much about his life or interests? Maybe the author was trying to illustrate that Theresa wasn't as bad as we initially assumed?
If you don't like books with sex or sexual references in them, this is probably not the book for you. If you don't mind it, if it is relevant to the story then it won't bother you at all. This isn't a harleuquin romance but some parts of the book may make you a bit tingly!
Overall, it was an enjoyable read. Not a classic I MUST keep on my personal bookshelf, but one that provided a moment of entertainment.
