3.0

This book had a ton of inner monologue and took until about 40% to really get into the nitty gritty of the mysteries. There were multiple mysteries in this book but all of them had pretty predictable endings except for one or two events that could be considered shocking to some. I stuck with this book because the plot moved along enough to keep me interested in what would happen to 30% (my typical dnf mark if I'm not feeling a book). I wouldn't recommend this one to anyone seeking a mystery/thriller. Also, the mother of the main character had more character development than the main character herself. She had virtually none throughout the book. Very meh overall.
