This book just didn’t do it for me. The premise was good, but the synopsis of the book isn’t at all what it’s about. I found it slow and anticlimactic. Even when things were happening they weren’t really driving a plot. Maybe I just didn’t get it, but it isn’t for me.

An amazingly screwed up read on so many levels, and that’s why I loved it. Really explores the perspective of a desperate believer, as well as the complex struggle of a mother daughter relationship. I recommend to anyone who enjoys strange fiction.

I’m surprised I finished this book. The uneven character development frustrated me most of all. Some plot lines were wonderfully written and kept me engaged. But too often the book felt like a slog. 1.5 stars.
