Paint it Black by Janet Fitch

Why I Recommend Bumping This Down On Your TBR: It takes away from the skill that seemed to occur in White Oleander. This lacked cohesion and was unclear in moments when, I believe, the reader needed the most clarity. The relationship between the two most important characters was strange and almost creepy, but it didn't seem as though their dynamic was supposed to be creepy. The writing that fit White Oleander and appeared intelligent, clever, and emotionally-stirring, now just seemed pretentious. Also, the audiobook skips chapters or reads some of them in a different order, which made it more difficult to consider those chapters important to the overall plot.
