It wasn't terrible, but it didn't stick with me in any way. It's a very character-driven story, but the character arcs (and subsequent plot) were very predictable and a bit bland. I related to Zadie, which helped; I think that anyone in a difficult family situation would relate to someone in this story, and it's nice to see yourself reflected, even if it's not pretty. Overall, predictable and average, but enjoyable all the same. It's easy to just get lost in and a quick read.
