This is a great first book of a series, laying out the main character, Rebekah Roberts, and her inner world and personal history as well as those around her that influence her. This story takes place in January in New York. The author did a great job of bringing us into the cold and showing us Rebekah's work life and her exploration of the Hasidic community. Rebekah's development from a promising "stringer" to the reporter she aspires to be is very well done. I too find the over use of the "f" word put me off, although it's probably realistic. Julia Dahl is definitely on my list of author's whose next book I'll be waiting for.
