The summary of the book is not at all like the actual plot - which in a way I really love. It turns from this seemingly tantalizing hook up story to a 3-gen female story about complex relationships, adoption, and trust.
Book gets a really low rating from me because while the writing is literary and accessible, and the plot can get interesting, the character herself is hard to get behind because i feel like theres a extra shell that I couldnt seem to permeate. She came off quite cold. I was a little lost at times. And some sex scenes I feel like were put in just for the shock effect and didnt add much.
