Ehhhhh I don't know.
This is the first book I read because a randomized picked it for me. To be honest I finished it just to prove I could. The first half is truly boring. Nothing happens, the main character is unlikeable to the extreme, and I honestly skipped whole paragraphs.
I honestly think this book could've benefited from a stricter editor. There were too many "mysteries" and it was hard to understand exactly what was going on. The Book that this book was named after, came into the story so late, became a plot point so late, and then suddenly it was like it was just a plot device. A thing for Tamara to bounce her character development off of, but not an actual plot.
I liked the plot twists at the end. When Sister Ignatius was so adamant about Tamara's age, I knew something was up there. I liked the weird family dynamics that played out.
But no, I can't say this book is very good. I wish an editor had looked at this more. Because I do think it has the potential to be good.
