I loved The Lovely Bones and I purchased this book solely on that recommendation alone. I liked this book, but it was not the same type of book and in many ways I had a much harder time with it than the authors debut book.
As the reader, we know from the book jacket that Helen murders her mother but that fact was still a bit of a surprise to me. I think somehow I thought maybe it was just a metaphor, or somehow Helen was living in a fantasy world to an extent and performed this act there. Because this is a very real event in this book, it made the whole thing very difficult for me from the start.
