Unrealistic and trashy
I would like to know what the editor was thinking while time was supposedly spent editing. There are more holes in this novel than there are in a pound of excellent Swiss cheese. I was under the impression that it was supposed to be realistic but found a collection of Smurfs more believable. Helene's run-away from Edouard and subsequent marriage to Lewis made absolutely no sense. Most of the characters are unrealistic and come from La-La Land. Thad's relationship with Lewis from the very beginning was farcical. As a matter of fact most of the characters were reminiscent of a fantasy or a nightmare.
