The only reason I finished this was because it was for a bookclub. This was so boring and couldn’t follow a storyline.

A quarter of the way thru the book and still have no idea what the plot is. Also, the same stories keep getting repeated over and over and over. And while there's no plot every chapter adds another character we'll never hear from again. Needed some serious editing.
