It took me a while to get into this one, and I almost decided to give up on it. But I kept reminding myself how ,such I loved Little Darlings, and so I forced myself to keep going. About 30% of the way in it picked up and I was invested, but it starts off slow and removed, focusing on Ruby.
Once you're into the meat of the plot (a handsome young man across the way has a woman and young child living in his soundproofed apartment - he says they're undocumented and agoraphobic, but the woman tells Ruby that she should be scared of him, and goes on and on about a coat...), it picks up and I wanted to know how it would all shake out.
3.5 stars, rounded up.
