I think my problem with Jackson's books is that they really feel like YA books. Some YA books, especially thrillers are written in a way that it's easy to forget that it's for a YA audience, but Jackson always manages to make it feel like a YA book. I think my problem is that there's so much focus on unnecessary details throughout the book and then suddenly it's wrapped up. So many scenes in Bel's home as she goes about her life after Rachel's return and so little about what else was happening and then suddenly the big reveal came and the book ended. I want to give Jackson a chance because I know so many people who love her work, but maybe she's just not an author for me.
