From page one I hated Abby with all my being, but I absolutely loved what Ainslie Hogarth was able to do with her character.
This is probably the weirdest book I've ever read with the worst characters I've ever read, but Ainslie was able to write a story so compelling and describe their world in such a way that I could not stop reading despite wanting to. And even though I had predicted the first part of the ending, the second part threw me for a loop and made me endlessly glad that I had decided to finish the book.
I wouldn't exactly recommend this book to anyone, but somehow it was still a four star read for me.
A round of applause for Ainslie Hogarth - a genius in her own weird way.
