I'm not sure what I was expecting from this novel, but I can definitely say I didn't get it. I listened to the audiobook and while the narration was good, this book didn't really have any redeeming quality. It was one series of tragic circumstance after another without anything positive in between. I found this story heartbreaking, tragic, and depressive. I stuck it out hoping for some wonderful conclusion at the end, but that was not the case either. While I can have empathy for CC and her life that is filled with one crappy situation after another, this book felt like nothing more than consistent doom and gloom with no sunshine at all.
