Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - It was ok....
Like I said, it was ok. It was an easy read. Took me several pages to get used to the narration sequences, but it was interesting and the characters were pretty well-developed. The thing is, it felt like I was reading a movie made for Lifetime television in that it was not as deep as I think the author hoped it would be.
