She couldn’t keep track of who was speaking and it got in the way of her enjoyment of the story. I have to take this critique seriously – it’s her experience of the book and she has every right to her experience.<br /><br />But I can’t help but feel she read it too quickly. Other parts of the review show that who is speaking was not the only thing she was confused about. She was confused about which sect of Christianity Dottie belonged to. She missed Mandy’s conversion from homophobic to open and affirming. She conflated Sheri, Dottie’s counselor from the Sexual Assault Crisis Center, with the unnamed therapist to which Dottie is referred. Reading too quickly is probably an occupational hazard of someone who blogs about and reviews books.<br /><br />A repeating theme in the book, and a repeating theme in my process consulting and session leadership, is Honor the Silence. Take time to live the experience, to develop thoughts, and to process feelings. Alice does this, Dan does this, and readers will find that it helps if they do it.<br />E.S.
