The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake by Aimee Bender

2.0

I really wanted to like this book. In fact I liked the beginning and I liked how it ended. But the middle dragged on for too long. I kept wondering when is something going to happen. The whole angle on her brother made no sense to me. How did it relate to her special "skill"? Her brother's skill of turning into objects was just too weird. Now, don't get me wrong I have no problem with weird books or even unrealistic things happening to characters but when there seems to be no link and no plot it leaves me with an unsatisfied feeling.
