I was having brunch with a new friend and we got to talking about books. She had similar taste in books to me and recommended this book. I added it to my to read list. When I got home I posted my last review and went to look for a new book, and there was this one. Happy coincidence.
I did enjoy this book. It was very engaging and I didn't want to put it down. My impression while reading it was that is was really weird. It starts out as a sad story that is completely plausible in the normal work. Then it gets strange, but not necessarily a bad strange.
There were two things I did not like about the book. The first is a spoiler, so if you don't like those don't read it. The end of the book negates the rest of the book. There is a lot of weird stuff including time travel. The character manages to undo not only her past, but part of her grandmothers and most of her mother's. The second is I didn't like a half of the characters. Many seemed completely incapable of dealing with their reality, and let their tragedies destroy not only their lives and the lives of their families.
