4.0

I had difficulty liking these characters. Lucy was kind of whiney and extremely overbearing. That said, I was able to sympathize with what the key characters had gone through during their lives and how it led to their present day personalities.

I enjoyed the twists, turns, and crazy character connections. I also enjoyed the narrators clear, crisp voice and her low-key (as opposed to overacted) narration.

I would recommend this book to friends and plan to read the next in the series.
