The Almost Moon by Alice Sebold
2.0
I really didn't like this one. I usually dont go below 3 stars, but I had to here. After the lovely bones, I was excited to read the almost moon! I started this book, and read about 6 other books before finally coming back to it and finishing it.
The only reason I finished it was because I HATE leaving books half-read.
Like other reviewers have mentioned, the plot could have been interesting enough, but the main character was just not likable! At all! I would have been okay with a main character that I hated because I was supposed to hate her, but Helen was just... Blah.
The book just flat out disappointed me. I did not care for any of the other characters, and I especially did not care for the decisions Helen made. The entire time I was reading, I found myself wishing that she had just gone to the police and turned herself in directly after the crime. It would have made me happier!
