Disgusting

I closed the cover on this book and returned it to the library after finishing only the second chapter. The scene with the eleven-year-old daughter catching her mother in the bathroom was revolting. How can a woman write such disgusting filth? Aside from that, the story in itself (what little of it I read) wasn't even well written in my opinion (as a writer myself). It seemed too light and intending to be amusing, not at all suspense. If this book could have been given no stars, it would have been a more appropriate rating. Disgusting.
