The Beginners by Rebecca Wolff
2.0
I just finished The Beginners and am having a hard time figuring out how I feel about it. Fifteen-year-old Ginger Pritt becomes entranced with a mysterious new couple, the Motherwell's, that move into her small New England town of Wick.
The book is touted as some sort of supernatural mystery, and while there were definitely some parts that spooked me and some parts that flat-out disturbed me, I'm still not quite sure what the mystery was. Much of the story was bogged down with abstract musings, that though beautiful, left me confused. I didn't like it, but was strangely fascinated, thinking there had to be more, but there wasn't.
