Enjoyed the book. I’m not sure how real the central plot point feels, but it is well told and the characters have depth.

 The characters had nothing really going for them, and usually I don't mind multiple POVs. But this one jumped between 3rd person and 1st person as well which threw me off. The story also is not told in a linear fashion and it made what little I could manage to follow even harder to keep up with. Read for a book club, but won't be reading anything by Mary Lawson again.

More like 3.75 stars. I listened to this one and didn't care for 2 of the 3 narrators. I think I'd have liked the book more had I read it in print. Full review to follow.
