I read an early draft back when she was shopping the mss around (I think it was 2002) and I'm glad to see the book finally in print. I have been in love with Jim and his mid-life crisis for all these months :) I strongly dislike the gang rape scene, because it makes me uncomfortable in general (not a fan of rapefic etc), so I never thought about how it was written - just that when I read it, I wanted to squirm away from it. That it evokes a reaction in me other than "meh", I suppose, I credit to the author's style.
