I don't think I've ever given a book one star but this one most definitely deserves it. It is told from the point of view of five different characters, two of these points of view are boring and don't add a thing to the storyline. I found the ending to be written for shock value alone. Through the entire book the author writes about things not even pertinent to the story but at the end, when I wanted to know details about what happened to certain characters, she gets vague and doesn't satisfy my questions. Author should have focused a little more on Gemma & Pauline and alot less on other characters.
