Jenny’s writing style is gorgeous, really beautifully crafted. But over time I just found all the characters and their decisions annoying and couldn’t continue.

I am between a 3 and a 4 for this one...This was a strange book to me...very disjointed. Some pieces of it were lovely and touching and very like complex and nuanced relationships and other parts were kind of charicatureish. Sometimes it was fun and other times it was kind of dull and the whole thing didn't hold together for me and the end was kind of abrupt. So many bits and pieces all jumbled together...lots of promise but maybe not quite there yet for me as a cohesive total.
