This wasn’t awful, but it wasn’t fun either. I found myself wanting to DNF about halfway through, but I’m stubborn about finishing books. The story was interesting enough to push through to the end, but the outcome was predictable and the characters never really grew throughout the story. As many have said, it suffers from being told from too many perspectives, and I could never figure out why she chose to write certain characters in first person and others in third. There wasn’t any logical reasoning for any of the switches and I wish it had either been a steady thread connecting it. I thought at first it was first person for the most unreliable narrators and third for the fact givers but that was shot to hell several times. It would have been better to pick one perspective or at most have third person for everyone else and first person for the aunt and daughter.

Disappointing, but a good enough read if you can get over the style. Probably won’t read anything else from this author since I didn’t jive with it though.
