There are a lot of things I enjoyed about this book, including the magical realism, the Northern Michigan setting, and the direction the story took. However, it was really slow to start, to the point where I almost abandoned it, and then when it finally got going, it wrapped up too quickly. There are parts of the plot that are still very confusing and could have been explained a bit more. I did enjoy some of the plot twists, though, even if they were a little predictable. It was not my favorite book but it is overall an easy read, good for the beach or a summer evening.
