Helpful Score: 10
The premise of this book is interesting, but it somehow fails to deliver. My book club just read this, and we all agreed that this novel starts too slowly, which caused a lot of people to lose interest before the story really developed.
I do think that this could have been edited better; it is sometimes too descriptive without moving the story along. And the way that a lot of loose ends are conveniently and neatly tied up at the end is just an easy way out for an author. You can definitely tell that this is Catherine O'Flynn's first book.
To summarize: it's not the worst thing I've ever read, but it's definitely not the best either. In a word, this book is mediocre.
