My Dad says I spoil too much in my reviews, so I shall simply say that it wasn’t quite the story I expected based on the way it was framed on the back, but I really enjoyed the perspective switches and thought that they and the time jumps added some interesting elements to the reading experience.

Too obvious

This plodded along, and was too obvious in plot, and also seemed inconsistent with the time period it is set in. 2007-2010 and people are THAT unfamiliar with computers? Everyone using chatrooms? Also Jean wasn't but 40, but talked like she was 80.
