About halfway through this book I was really loving it! It's a fantastic setup and I enjoyed diving into the action almost right away. However, by the middle of the book, I was losing interest in Briddey's monologue: CB's lying, no he isn't, yes he is, my family won't leave me alone, I love my family, CB's lying again, wait is he?, what lies have I told? and on and on. I think the urgency and emotional connection would have been there if Briddey had been pared back even just a little bit. I loved Maeve though!
