I gave the book 3 stars as I thought the writer did well with her characters and wrote them well. However, I I found this book very hard to get into and it really wasn't a book I would have normally read. Once I was about half way through the book however I found myself wanting to read on to the end to see what happened as it improved immensely after that point. That was until the ended. I am very disappointed with the ending of the book as I felt it was a little flat and that I needed more for it to feel finished.
