Blood Orange

i do not know how anyone could have given this book more than two stars. first off - very bland, unlikeable characters. none of them spoke to me at all. too many things going on in this book and none of them were believable or played out to completion. and my goodness - why is a child abduction pretty much swept under the rug?? i don't understand how they all pretty much just carried on with their lives while their daughter was abducted for 3 months. please! what parents would still be working?? i get that you need an income to survive, but geez... it's YOUR DAUGHTER!!! you barely hear anything about the little girl, bailey, what's she's been through, how she's coping, etc. the main characters - dana and david are too wrapped up in themselves individually. david can't get away from work, defending an accused child murderer (really?? after your daughter is abducted??). not only that, but then david decides to have the wife of the murderer move in with them - over the garage? are you kidding me? after your daughter was just abducted? and then dana is just sitting there so self absorbed about her affair with her friend's brother. we find out later that the brother is who abducted the daughter. but since dana is so selfish, she decides not to come out with it until much later that she knows that he abducted her daughter. where are your priorities?? what an awful mother. this book was distasteful. i don't recommend it to anyone. i read it all the way through just to get through it.
