This book didn't know what it wanted to be. And rather than pairing things down to find the essential story the author wanted to tell, everything stays interwoven in such a bulky way that the various subplots all weight each other down, each competing to be the heart of the story. What's there is well done: explorations of grief, controlling/abusive relationships, mystery, and character studies. But by halfway through I just wanted to get to the point.
