Helpful Score: 1

I will give a book a fair chance but after 100 pages and it doesn't keep my interest then I give it up and move on to something else. That is the case with this one, I found it to be just ho hum, droll, and really a waste of time.

Not much to be said about it, it is written in the form of one chapter is about Lucy (the daughter) then the next chapter is going into the past with Lila (the mother) who disappeared and that is the way of the entire book, not my kind of reading.

I didn't find anything interesting about it at all and as you turn the pages and expect something to happen then don't hold your breath because it is very slow moving with very little happening in the first 100 pages and I don't like writing like that.

Even though I live in the Ozarks I can't relate to the fact that there are 'backwoods' people anymore, maybe there is but sometimes stories just make a simple life sound very sordid as this one does and this has already been written over and over.

Just not my kind of reading.
