I was disappointed by this book, but not altogether surprised that I didn't enjoy it. Apart from the plot twist at the end of Sister, Rosamund Lupton's books have been mediocre for me, and this just didn't quite reach that. The writing was very pretty, but that's about the only positive I have for this book. Child narrators are difficult to write well without being annoying, and I don't think it was successfully done here. Add to that the absurdity of a lot of the plot and the way it just dragged on, and it wasn't a book I was able to enjoy.
