OTOH, lots of people make choices that I don't understand and yet work for them. She seemed to see only two workable solutions when I could think of more. The author only gave her limited choices with limited attachments so that there was no choice where love and sex combined with being a good friend. Maybe we were supposed to forsee this in her future but she seemed locked into a particular role when the book ended.JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01661316910511194712noreply@blogger.com
