This was an unpleasant but good (or good but unpleasant) book that grabbed my interest and made me want to read on to find out what happened. The two Rosanoffs are unsympathetic characters, the one victimized by the other going on to use medical knowledge to manipulate, trick, and bed as many women as possible, aided by another victim of abuse. I am always creeped out by representations of abuse of power by mental health practitioners — I stopped reading Crushed by Kate Watterson because there were no redeeming factors to balance the casual representation of violation of ethical boundaries by a psychologist. But this book explores important questions and issues, and it was worth my Saturday.
