It was like the author got tired of writing and thought it would be clever to end as it did. It felt lazy more than novel. Characters were utterly pathetic, yet I failed to wrangle up even an iota of sympathy for any of them. What was the point of your book??? Nonetheless, aside from the ending, I found myself early enjoying the book.

The messy world the main character has created for herself is so deliciously entertaining. The tension is really well-balanced throughout as well. I was just a little disappointed with where it ended; I wanted a little more.
