Absolutely mesmerizing. I couldn't stop reading. Read it in one sitting. The writing style is different and found I enjoyed it alot. Story is told in 3 voices by two young girls, one 12 one 15, and their elder neighbor Lennie ( I fell in love with Lennie). The girls have buried their parents in the backyard not realizing the length they will have to go to to cover up this huge secret they must keep. The best way to describe this is a gruesome, dark, addictive, appalling and imaginative tale that is often hilarious and very very orginal. Oh boy it's orginal!!! I absolutely loved it. I've already added Ms. O'Donnell's newest novel to my wish list.
