Soul Destruction: Unforgivable by Ruth Jacobs

I downloaded Soul Destruction: Unforgivable during a free download weekend. It sounded good, but this book dragged on and on. I almost feel criminal with the in-depth description of mixing a hit of heroin and crack because the author goes into great detail in several chapters. I couldn't help but think "is there a point to this book?" In fact, the plot doesn't even pick up until about 70% of the way through, and even then, the author just kind of muddles through. The main character, Shelley, isn't a sympathetic character at all, and there are times when she's downright detestable. Chapters seem unfinished and for the most part left me asking "and then what happened? Why?" There was just a sense of vagueness around the whole thing.
