Review: Let me just be honest. When I was a child I was diagnosed with ADD, dyslexia and reading comprehension problems. Therefore, books have to be very interesting to hold my attention. I had a bit of trouble with this book. It was everyday issues with everyday problems and I had a hard time getting into it. It wasn't much of a page turner for me. I like the author's style of writing though. It was clear and I could totally understand it and connect with the character. I just had a hard time getting into it. I got through chapter 11 or 12 then flipped to the back and read the final chapter and the epilogue and followed everything that was happening. I felt like I missed nothing. She has gotten raving reviews from lots of people though so I'm sure that I missed a lot. I just had a hard time getting into it. There was some harsh language in it as well.
Rating: ** Two Stars
