The entire premise of Akin by Emma Donoghue seems unlikely. Putting that aside, it seems as though the book is following two stories that never really come together in a cohesive whole. I find myself skimming through to see if the characters or the story evolves throughout the book. Sadly, I find that it does not. I keep reading for the story to ring true, and it does not. I am disappointed.
