Leslie is her friend who works in a battered women’s shelter & is all for women taking it back for themselves, saying lovely explicit things like, “‘Just that when we act so powerless, like there’s nothing we can do, they smack us and we say please stop, they smack us and we say please stop. Her boyfriend has been murdered in her house, so, intrepid little egg that she is, she’s trying to investigate these crimes herself. The setup here is that Maureen is an incest survivor who’s got a history of psychiatric hospitalization. ‘I wanted to make a single heroic gesture. She said she knew she’d be safe because she’s got us to look after her.’ ‘To be honest,’ said Leslie ‘I liked her better when she was scared shitless & couldn’t talk.’ “’Far be it from me to say this,’ said Leslie, ‘but Siobhain’s a prick.’ Maureen scratched her head miserably.
If you're not into spoilers for this book, I am going to tell you what the last page says, so you know, consider yourself warned if you continue reading my fist-shaking fury. It was all going so well, I was thinking Wow just wow in an awesome way & then I got to the literal last page of this book & my head kind of exploded.
This is enough to make you use some silly acronym like WTF when you’re rather more someone who would just like to use the explicit phrase.
