Confusing to read, unlikeable self-pitying narrator, unrealistic and disappointing “cop-out” ending. I feel let down. Strike this author as off my list. ( )

I just couldn't get into this book. I found the prose slow and overwritten, and the narrator's constant self-pity really grated on my nerves. I also didn't like the style in which the book was written - the letters to the narrator's sister were dull and only served to distance me from the character and the action. I struggled through and finished it, but I was even more disappointed with the ending. ( )

This was a surprise. I bought it on a whim. It did not disappoint. ( )

Here's what I wrote in 2012 about this read: "Easy and suspenseful read. Written in the UK and quickly traveled to the U.S. Illumuniates the ties of sisters, and creates a story from the unwillingness of one to believe the other would commit suicide, despite tragedy in her life. A fun twist on who-done-it and the author makes the reader suspect EVERYONE she (MGA) meets." ( )
