The Sunday Wife

Okay I fully realize I'm about to contradict myself, but I don't know how else to tell how I felt about this book. First, the reviews really hyped me up. I have to admit as an overall story, this book was very powerful, haunting in a way. I couldn't stop thinking about the overall picture, or meaning behind it. The power of love- obsessive love that is. I have sadly known people who went pretty crazy when with certain people, so I could almost see the power in that. The only part I had a problem with was the over-exaggerated view of the south. AKA the Bible Belt. It just seemed to be shown in a very negative way, which I couldn't get away from. Yea... I'm one of those that has trouble separating church and state.
