I've had this book on my shelves for years, just waiting to be picked up. I can honestly say that I'm glad I finally did even if my rating is so low. There's nothing particularly remarkable about the story or plot, but the writing is so smooth and the book is short enough that it makes it easy to fly through this book in one day. The major downfall of this novel is that it's painfully predictable. I had guessed the "big twist" by page 10. The foreshadowing is so heavy that it justs makes the reveal feel like a statement rather than a twist. Besides, most of the characters don't seem to have big reactions to the information either. It leaves the book feeling rather pointless and dull.
