This book was a quick, easy read. I enjoyed the character, thought the descriptions the author provided were vivid, and there were turns that I didn’t see coming. I also think the author did a great job with putting us in the shoes and mind of a character who is on the spectrum. I thought the ending of the book felt a little thrown together. The ending was a shock, but not a shock that could have been reasonably deduced. I also think some of the details about Molly, Gran, The Blacks, and Mr. Preston were not given the attention I would have liked to see, and they were sort of dropped and then left. It also drove me crazy that the details made it difficult to place where this story happened. Overall, I think it’s a great read for a book club; we had a lot of discussion. But I wasn’t overly impressed.
