Bored white soccer mom being a little too nosy. If you like constant repetition, mediocre writing, and a very slow almost glacial pace for 85% of the book and then the speed of a rocket launch at the end, you might like this book.

Characters were dull. Not the author's fault, but I found the main character's "I don't get what's happening with the youth these days" attitude to be annoying to read about. The mystery was drip-fed and then answered all at once. I didn't find any of it unexpected and found the twists to be more like roadblocks delaying me from getting to the end of the story.

Lewis was so unbearable from the beginning that I couldn't understand why anyone ever thought he was good?

emmaraeempowered's review against another edition

DNF-ing. This book is awful. I cannot suffer through it anymore. The story just walks in circles the whole time. I basically read the summary of the book every other chapter. The mystery did not progress. There was a random completely unnecessary scene that I actually called my sister and vented to her about it. (We're reading it together) and we both decided enough is enough!
