Summary

Twenty-six-year-old Kelly Kelleher longs for something interesting to happen to her, so when she meets a senator and he invites her to his hotel room, she says yes. Even though the man is old enough to be her father and even though he has perhaps been drinking too heavily, saying yes is an exciting part of the adventure Kelly is finally going to have. However, after the senator's car crashes through a guardrail, it becomes clear that this man embodies a wholly different and more sinister type of danger, one much harder to contain than the horrible events that unfold as Kelly is left in the sinking car.

I was trying to to be "a good girl really" by finishing it since it's such a short book. Yet those were the longest three hours of my life. I was drowning in boredom, hearing the three same sentences again and again.
I have no beef with the VA, but man the book itself, even knowing the event it's reminiscing about, drained me of any willingness of reading JCO's work. I am good, no thank you.
