What a strange story. Not at all what I expected. Only a few more hours now for me left in #24in48 !!

Owned this one forever, so it‘s finally time to read it! This will be my 6th book for #24in48

Since I'm awake, here's something that's bugged me for years. Sue Grafton's the worst offender, but now I see that Dennis Lehane (see above) has the same tendency to give far too many characters green eyes--they're not that common in the real world. Since Patrick Kenzie's abusive father had green eyes, maybe this goes to character, but it doesn't explain the other Kinsey. Is this a detective fiction trope? Or am I just being too picky? #petpeeve

I love how, at nearly 80, Joyce Carol Oates can grab the reader's attention in the way she writes about young people and the issues which affect them. I loved this as I have a couple of others of hers.

Don't really remember much about this one, except that this book came on a Vegas road trip with me, & that I never really understood the point of the "Freaky/Franky" dual persona thing (I think it could have been really interesting, but wasn't fully explored). But I love JCO, so maybe I'll try again
