★★☆☆☆
Great rising plot but falls before the climax and just gets worse.
As an English teacher, I cringed. The writing and dialogue lacked any kind of depth and even flashbacks were sterile, forcing stereotypical characters that were prematurely diving headlong into the climax...or what should be a climax. In some chapters (especially towards the end) I’ve read better writing from my 6th grade students. What a disappointment. The plot seemed so interesting at first, but it quickly fell flat. By the end with the unbelievable “plot twist”, I just wanted it over with. A good writer pulls you in and makes you feel for its protagonists no matter how flawed they are or how the storyline ends. These characters never quite pulled at anything.
