3.5

Yes I finished this book in two days but I think it was only because it was the weekend and my life is sorely lacking in entertaining media at the moment. The first half of the book was very slow and the big twist half-way through was a little predictable which makes me feel like the dragging in the first half was wasted time. Especially considering how quickly the book wrapped up at the very end. I saw some other reviews saying the same thing and I definitely agree. This is a small spoiler but if this book didn't have a happy ending it would have been a one star for me. So thank god it was a happy ending. The kids have been through enough.
