Writing was fine, subject matter ok if you want to know the basics of young farm girls growing up into old women, bird-watching occupied all of one paragraph, so very disappointed. I have so many other books I'd rather be reading, and 1/3 through this one I was already skipping paragraphs/pages. So, I'm moving on.

I did not like this one at all. The only reason I finished it was because it was short and a pretty fast read. The characters were shallow and very stereotypical. The whole thing was far-fetched, but so predictable at the same time. I didn't even really like the characters (even Sweet or Beulah). The dialogue was juvenile and the writing simple. Nothing to really keep me interested. There was potential for this book because of the intense subject matter, but it didn't work out that way.
