I read a lot of books. Sometimes, when I'm not sure I want to finish a book, I skip to the back of the book and see what happened. With some books, this habit suffices, and I am able to finish reading the book and am satisfied with skipping the middle of it. With this book, things were a little different.

SPOILER ALERT - do not read further if you don't want to know a crucial detail of the book.

So, I'm reading along and I get the gist of things, kind of a sad story about a girl who didn't get too many breaks in life after her insane mother returned from the asylum when she was a pre-teen. Then, the father she loves passes away...so I'm reading it basically for the characters (this book has some interesting characters) and decide to skip ahead. Imagine my surprise when I turn randomly to a page that says something along the lines of ...and so I visited Pap in the prison...UM, HELLO? I thought he was dead. So of course I had to go back and read the whole thing. Yeah, it only took me a few more hours to finish the book. There's a whole mystery type thing going on in this book and it is worth the read!

Also read the little author mini-bio at the end. It sheds light on some of the characters and the direction of parts of the story. Bravo to the author for writing a multi-dimensional story. Very interesting read!
