I had no expectations or idea of what the book was about, just that it had good reviews. It ended up being so inspiring and just such a riveting and wonderful listen!
Highly recommend!

Based on how others have reviewed this book, I really was looking forward to reading it.  I was disappointed, however, by how cliche (is that the right word?) the story was.  Maybe "mainstream" is a better description.  Basically, I can see how it could hold popular appeal, based on its themes of female empowerment and an intriguing mystery.  But, it was mostly the style of prose that turned me off from the book.  Call me a book snob if you like, but -- to me, at least, -- the author's prose and word usage were kind of low-brow.
