I should really dislike this book (really awful people!) and yet, I enjoyed it. It felt like I was reading about Skink in one of Carl Hiaasen’s books: it takes place in Florida and is full of characters who make really poor choices. Even as they undergo tragedy, I found myself unable to feel any empathy for them, but neither did I find myself feeling contempt nor judging them as I might normally do. It was a surprise, a nice one, that I really liked reading it.
