I worked at a bookstore and while straightening up I came across this book. Thought it seemed rather interesting so I bought it. Even with my discount I was still mad that I had wasted my money on this book. I did read it til the end and I do realize that this was her first novel but, when I finished the book I actually closed it, stared at it, and promptly threw it across the room. The characters never seemed to develope and the ending made me angry. I hated how it just ends. It wasn't that it was disturbing what happened in the novel I just kept reading trying to figure out what these characters are all about. I wouldn't read this book again if you paid me. But then again that's my humble opinion.
