ericarobyn 's review for:

Woman No. 17 by Edan Lepucki

DNF.

The way this book was written wasn’t really for me. I didn’t like all the random notes that were thrown into the storyline like the narrator was addressing another character that could be reading the story.

The characters didn’t seem fully developed. For example, how the mother still jumps to making assumptions about her son Seth, and then quickly backtracks. Seth is 18, I could have seen these assumptions being made when he was younger, but I felt that they should have been resolved by now.

I didn't care about any of the characters or the plot as it had developed so far. I kept putting the book down and just didn't want to pick it back up.

If you enjoy unlikable characters, I'd recommend this one :)
