A bit slow at times, even on audiobook. I probably would’ve gotten bored and quit if I were physically reading it. 
The premise leads you to believe that the book will be a lot more mysterious and interesting than it really was, but it was a simple and enjoyable character study nonetheless. 
It could’ve been shorter; the entire boyfriend storyline added nothing to the story in my opinion.
 
I didn’t like the focus on mysterious things that ended up being nothing? For example, the brother is missing for the majority of the book and he’s been at the step-dad’s house all along? The cat was missing for a week and then just showed up with no explanation?

It wasn't horrible but I wasn't wowed by it. The writing style was engaging. There were times that the plot felt a little muddled. Overall a decent "beach read".
