A Tip for the Hangman by Allison Epstein

I SO wanted to love this book. The description had me captivated instantly.... the actual book, however... nah. Normally I can breeze through a book of this length within a few days, but it was like pulling teeth to get me to pick it back up!
It does have it's parts where I couldn't put it down, but they are few and far between. I feel as though it glazed over some big deal events (that from the description should have been the whole plot?) and focused too much on details that didn't really add to the story. I also feel as though the book jumped around a lot without notice. I caught myself a few times, looking back to see if I had skipped a page or paragraph etc.
I'm very sad that this didn't live up to what I wanted it to be!!!
