I admit I only read this book as it was picked for a book club I'm in and so I wouldn't have picked it up otherwise. The plot is interesting enough but the characters are all very 2 dimensional. The writing style wasn't for me in places and I did find my mind wandering. It did have some interesting moments though and I was intrigued enough to want to know what happened at the end. Just overall very middle of the road, even for when it was written.
