That's what I'm sayin'! Unpredictability for a book---yes, please! :)

I can very much relate to that feeling. Sometimes I even wonder if I understand myself. Great review though. Seems like a great read despite the typos

I love books with multiple storylines and think I would enjoy this. It sounds especially interesting because the two story lines are sisters.

It was that exact word in the the previous paragraph before you mentioned the theme that made me want to pick this book out! I just finished a William H. Coles book and did not find it to be one an enjoyable read. However, this one may help change my overarching opinion of his last work I read. I like short with substance.. as well as some mystery and sexual content :) Thanks for the review!

I love the fact that you say the story has unpredictable ending. This means that the readers are left to think, speculate and imagine which is good for the their creative thinking as well as indulgence in the author's work.

Is this merely a short story? I am not sure I understood correctly from your review. Thank you.

It is a short story. I wish it had been longer ;)

I found your review interesting. Your mention of the intriguing aspect of the book and the "unpredictable" theme clearly got my attention. As the oldest of 6 sisters, I am curious about the character development and the interaction between these 2 sisters. Could be interesting. Your review peaked enough interest that I downloaded a discounted 99 cent copy to my Kindle today. My schedule is a bit busy right now, but I will let you know what I think of Mr. Coles' book once I have some free time to read it.

Mr Coles is a master when it comes to character development. The unpredictability element is a bonus. Thanks for the nice review.

I like the idea behind this story, but I agree that it needs to be developed into a full-length novel before it can truly impact readers.
