Barely anything in this book felt interesting to me. I didn't like any of the characters and their motivations, the plot was also easy to guess. The style of writing and the short chapters did make for an easy read.

I read this for book club and while it was fun to read there were parts of the experience that might have affected it only being a 3 star read for me.  I am a mood reader and this is a fall book - not January.  It's campy and sometimes that misses for me but I think this would have been great if I had been in a campy mood.  I would recommend it widely and would love to hear people who love it talk about it because I think that my timing was what was off in the reading of this one.
