2.5

Too many characters with varying levels of page time. The main plot point from the summary (here have a baby!) didn't occur until over halfway through. The book was unnecessarily long. I wanted more from so many characters as most had some interesting tidbits but we get the most from a character (Melinda) who is consumed by an unnerving level of rage. I almost DNF'ed.
