Thank you for your critisiism. I know what you mean, but I think the repetition is valid to emphasise aspects of the story. I would be very interested to know whether other readers agree with you. If it is ruining their enjoyment of the piece as well, I should do something about it!
I agree, her monologing was too repetitive and took me out of the story. It doesn't need to say the same thing five times for something to be emphasized; even twice is enough if you feel it's more necessary. Hope that helps!
