I was wavering between two and three stars, but in the end, I liked this about as much as I liked “Dark Places,” which I gave three.
I really loved the female relationships in this story. Kari’s relationships with both her best friend and her cousin had enough ups and downs to keep them feeling realistic. Although I will say, the dialogue was grating at times and I found the male characters to be cartoonishly lacking complexity. Overall, the ending felt right, and while I don’t think this is a story I’ll think about forever, I could definitely see myself reading more from this author.
