I wanted to like this book, but something stops me. It is a cold, sad story. The twists are pretty predictable, but you still have to read the entire thing to make sure that you're right. I felt sorry for all of the characters, made life seem really bleak. I did like the fact that it is told from 3 perspectives. A quick thriller, just don't expect to feel uplifted by the ending.
