All God's Children by Aaron Gwyn

3.0

I wanted to love this. There were some bits that were stunningly good, and I really appreciated the very small amount of sexual violence. But partway through, I started to realize how Cecelia seemed to struggle more than was reasonable and to make mistakes that weren't logical for her character to make. And then Duncan had nice a closing chapter rounding out his story and we heard nothing more from Cecelia, and I was very glad I was done with the book. The ending is fine, but not especially satisfying, and I don't feel like our characters were able to capitalize on the growth they experienced throughout the novel. I was hopeful about recommending this to folks, but I'm not sure that I can.
