I wasn't sure what to think of this one. It was the first novel I've ever read on my iPad (I'm a diehard paper book lover) which was a different and not so great experience... but I did like this one! It kept me hooked because I knew enough of the plot to know something dramatic was going to happen, and I really wanted to see how it played out. It wasn't as suspenseful as Gone Girl and it definitely wasn't writing of any extraordinary caliber, but it did keep me engaged and flipping pages quickly! It was a quick read and a fun look at New Orleans living around the time Katrina happened, but it was pretty shallow overall and not terribly shocking or engrossing, even though the themes could have gone to much darker, deeper, more intense places. If you like books with some twists and suspense but don't like all the gory, gross, super dark details, this is a great one for you!
