The author sets up an interesting mystery about the main character and her sister, and then immediately drops it for a much more boring story instead. It might be worth it to stick through, but the dialog is terrible and the main character isn't interesting enough to carry the focus. When the main character has a misanthropic attitude they need to be able to carry the plot along on their own, and Atlee Pine can't.
