Did you have trouble following the timeline?
Did you also lose track of the progression of time? If so, did it have have much influence of your opinion of the writing or plot? I felt surprised at times by how many months had passed, but I would not say that it spoiled my enjoyment of the book.

I also find throughout the book that gaps in time aren't indicated. For example, Carole is waiting for him to get off a plane so she can talk to him about Tasha and Billie. We're reading about that, then in the next line they're at dinner and eating. There wasn't even a line break to let us know time will be skipped. I think this is my least favourite thing about the book to be honest.

I thought I was the only one who started off confused, lol. Rereading things a couple of times helped me have a better understanding.SienaStein wrote: ↑21 Oct 2018, 14:31 Oh my gosh... Yes! Even on page 1 it says Hiram's 2nd wife died in summer of 1999 and he married Carole 2 years later. The next heading is 1999 but he is already married to Carole for some time. I had to read it a few times and came to the conclusion it's an error.
I also find throughout the book that gaps in time aren't indicated. For example, Carole is waiting for him to get off a plane so she can talk to him about Tasha and Billie.
