This is the story of a girl told through three different men in her life, each with their own important role. She has little control over life, even her name, because each man has his own for her.
The good:
The plot was very original and the characters were complex. Its interesting enough to keep me entertained.
The bad:
I wish the girl was older, her young age makes certain plot points very icky. I also hate the long descriptive essays that last for pages and found myself skimming at times.
