This book was for my monthly book club. I started it and had a hard time continuing. I had heard others had stopped, so I pressed on, hoping for something to spark. It never did. This book is just weird.

I never questioned why things were they way they were, but I had hoped for a better conclusion for the main character. Bender did a good job of fleshing out Rose's character, but I didn't connect with any of the others and I keep waiting for something, anything to happen.

Overall, not really worth my time and probably not worth yours.
