This book is proof that you should never just pick up a book on a whim because of 1.) a pretty cover abs 2.) because it’s by a well known author. I picked this book up at my most recent trip to my library and I am so glad that I didn’t waste any money on it. At the beginning it seemed like it was going to be a pretty interesting 3-4 star read but then an animal was mentioned and I got a really bad feeling. Turns out I was right and the scene wasn’t a fade to black and the reasoning was absolutely stupid. If you are an animal lover please avoid this book!
