Query: Bitter!

Frankly, I bought this book only because it was my bookclub selection because from a brief perusal of the story it left a bad taste that soon left me choking on the main character's bitterness - I felt like gargling after each chapter just so I could read the next. Turns out I was not alone: The entire book club disliked this book. We thought the handling of the main character made her seem psychotic about race, slapping folks, and "the sun shining on her..." blah blah blah. We didn't even finish the discussion questions before moving on to something more pleasant: Like an airplane crash. Lighten up, Ms McLarin!
