The Opposite of Everyone by Joshilyn Jackson

4.0

This novel weaves stories within stories. Paula Vauss is a tough thirty-something attorney with an on again/off again relationship with a hard-nosed private investigator. Her early years with Kai, her free-spirited mother, shape much of the story and the mystery that pushes the plot forward. Kai often tells tales of Hindu gods to her daughter and the theme of reincarnation (or reinvention) follows many of the characters. Jackson creates complex, likable characters and an intriguing plot that weaves back and forth in time, with some interesting twists.
