The format of this book really drew me in. I’ve never read a narrative like it. I liked the book and it was a quick read (only took me two days to finish) but it lacked the character development and nuance it could have had if it were a more conventional novel. None of the characters were particularly likable but I do appreciate that there was some growth to them by the end. Ultimately I just hoped it would have been better based on others’ reviews but I think it just wasn’t 100% the book for me.

This book is so weird in the way that it is so bad that it sucks you in. At the 200 page mark of this book I was so close to giving up, I disliked all of the characters and just wanted to be done with the book yet I found myself desperate to know what was going to happen, I found myself gasping and plot twists and i found myself connecting with these characters despite the fact I disliked them. 
I enjoyed this book in a strange half and half sort of way

honestly, i wasn't a fan of this book. i could go on for quite a bit about why, but i'll keep it short. TJR wrote this in a different format than (i believe) most of her books, and i think that's obvious. it was very difficult for me to develop any attachment to these characters. while i liked a few of them, i wasn't able to connect with most. when writing in a new format, you have to be sure you don't lose the characters or the plot, and i think that's exactly what happened. i wasn't really invested in this story, the relationships, the characters, etc. i think the issues in this book were never truly resolved or resolved too quick. i never found myself wanting to pick up this book. i also wish TJR would have better utilized the fact that this was in the 70's. you could have told me the events were set in present day and i would have believed you.
