It's difficult to review this book without giving away too much of the story. Though this wasn't what I was expecting, I found myself enjoying this book. There were a few uncomfortable moments and times when I would have written things differently, but the plot weaves a good sense of conflict among the characters. I formed very strong feelings about the main characters - their dynamics lent themselves to frustration. I had a hard time deciding on my rating for this book. Once again, I am wishing there were half stars. I actually would place this at a 3.5. I did enjoy reading it. It just didn't suck me in as much as it had the potential to do.
