It was my understanding that she was (correctly in my view) horrified by the dreadful book, and particularly had trouble with the fact that, per the book, Starling ends up falling in love, and running away with Lecter. Obviously this was subsequently changed, and the movie did not ultimately have this preposterous ending.
