I’m
so confused by this book. I didn’t connect with the characters, at all. They
are difficult to like or sympathize with, and for some reason, I feel the
author created them this way intentionally. I struggled with rating this—but
ultimately decided on three stars, due to the time, effort, and vision of the
author.
The
writing is unique and enough to pique my curiosity, yet it feels robotic and
stilted. (Is this an intentional aspect, too?) I just can’t help feeling that,
perhaps, I missed something. An integral point that makes me say, “Ooh…I get
it!”
I
realize characters should have flaws, but I’d hope they’d have virtues too. These
characters puzzled me. The ‘friends’ aren’t what I define as friends. They are
narcissistic and don’t really know who they are or reveal what they want.
I
expected an emotional read, but it’s a fairly bleak book. Overall, I read
fiction because I want to FEEL something. This book accomplished that, even
though it made me feel little more than glum and frustrated.
I
received this book from Blogging for Books for this review.
