I have mixed feelings about this book. It instantly grabbed me in the beginning & for the first part, I couldn't put it down. Unfortunately, about a third of the way through it, I felt like the story line started to fall apart. I began losing some interest in it, and it almost felt like the second half of the book was written by a different author! I don't know what happened. I just never felt as though it had the same pull on me for the rest of the story.

It is written by different perspectives throughout the book, which was a blessing & a curse at the same time. When the story bounces between characters in the last part, it got a bit confusing as to whose perspective it was from. I had to keep double checking as to who was speaking. I think it was great to get different angles of the story from each of the characters, but with the name changes in the story, it did get a bit confusing.

Overall, the book was a little sad & heartbreaking, and it may leave you feeling a little angry at times for the events that occur. I would read more from this author, but this wasn't necessarily one of my favorite books I've ever read.

(Side note: This book is fairly graphic with topics such as rape & abuse. If this bothers you, this book may not be one you will want to read.)
