Joy Nash’s performance is excellent as always. There were moments that made me genuinely emotional, but also times when it felt like things were dragged out unnecessarily. Also, I was very put off by the totally unnecessary killing of a a snake in torpor. That poor sleepy guy wasn’t going to hurt anyone.

3.5
This book started slow (to me) for a Penny Reid novel. Penny writing L.A. movie studio offices/set/club parties just didn’t feel right. The characters were so awkward with each other for so long in the book, too. Maybe Ms. Reid intended for it to be palpable but I was too uncomfortable. The second half of the book hit it’s stride and made the book 3.5 stars overall.
