Mind Games by Kiersten White

3.0

I don't really know what to think of this book, so I'm giving it 3 stars for indecisive. I liked the writing style and the personality of the characters (most of the time). But, for the entire book, I was kind of lost. I couldn't figure out what the main plot line was and I couldn't figure out the characters--their motivations and thought processes. I was most definitely not a fan of the layout of the book: chapters from 2 different characters ranging from 10 years ago to present day, out of order. It was hard to keep everything straight in my head and by the time the end had rolled around, I couldn't really tell what was happening and I was just tired from trying to keep track of so much. I spent most of the book trying to figure out what the heck was even going on--and I was unsuccessful.

It's a short book, so for ambitious people with a bit of time on their hands, I might recommend this book as one that requires some brain power. I, myself, might read it later when I can be much more attentive and once I find a timeline somewhere to keep everything straight.
