Query: reader thrown under the bus

Like many others, I was confused by this book and disappointed in its ending. The plot did not move. I was glad the book was short so that, at last, I would know what was going on. No such luck. My own conclusion was that kids (Katie and maybe Charlie?) will go to extremes to get their parents attention and bring them back together. On a common sense level, if you suspect that your child is not your child, you don't just adapt to it. You try to find out unless you're a little or a lot messed up yourself. Maybe this was an attempt to get inside the mind of a very disturbed woman. I couldn't wait to get out.
