This was such a gripping reality. Carolyn Woods wrote of her encounters with Mark in such a way I felt like I was there listening to an old friend. What Carolyn went through, as an outsider I could see signs and felt myself shouting at the book in horror of what Mark asked of her but in truth, he was a great manipulator. He says he did not plan to do what he did, so he must have a great deal of skill for manipulation. He knew exactly what to say to Carolyn to keep her more than interested and ultimately break her down.
The writing was gripping and I felt connected to Carolyn and felt deeply for her. The first part of the book, where everything happened with Mark kept me interested. I lost some of that interest in the second part of the book where the focus was on the police and court proceedings. You definitely still get a feel for Carolyn's dilemma and horror.
I am pleased Carolyn has found happiness and I wish her the best for the future and continuing to rebuild her life after all this.
