3.0

A nice read that held my interest. Esme infuriated me though...I found her spineless and just wanted to yell at her to grow a pair throughout. That's not a criticism of the plot or the writing, just annoyance at a character/person who doesn't feel strong enough on their own to stand up for themselves and/or assert independence against a domineering and manipulating person. And not just once, but repeatedly. This is part of what made the book so interesting to me though; I wanted to see if she'd ever be her own person.
