I really enjoyed this book. The story was captivating and pays tribute to Toni Morrison's Beloved (which I also thought was genius). The characters were complicated and even though Leoni was a frustrating character, she wasn't one-dimensional. There were moments when I felt more than just anger with her character. Quick read as well.
