Default Re: good enough

Repetition like this is used for effect, and it's a case of literary judgment whether it works, or is excessive. For me, it's one to many. Perhaps:

"That's not good enough for Rob. It's not good enough for the Bains. It's not good enough for Elizabeth's memory and it's certainly not good enough for the public to just say, 'Okay, that's that.' "
