1.5 stars. Ugh. This was SOOOO boring. Seriously. That's all I can really say about this one. There was the potential for a good premise, but beyond the big event at the beginning of the novel that sets up the entire reason for the book...NOTHING HAPPENS. If this wasn't a read for my book club, I would have DNF'd this one, hands down. So why the 1.5 you ask? Well...the writing was decent. That's it. Seriously. Everything else is super glossed over and mundane. Blah, blah, blah. I was so incredibly disappointed by the exploration of the plot. Oh...and Aaron annoyed me. Yes, he's grieving, I get that. But he is such a miserable person at the core. Ugh. I just COULD NOT get on board with this one, but found that I COULD get bored with it.
