I picked this book up because I remembered hearing a lot of buzz and praise about it a year or so ago. The first half of this book made me feel like I was going to absolutely adore this story, but it began to fall flat. 
 Our narrator, Rosemary Cooke, mostly tells this story as her 22 year old self or her 5 year old self. I especially enjoyed the sections where she was younger. The main plot discusses familial issues, especially regarding her siblings. Rosemary tells her story out of chronological order which was unique, but there's not much else I feel I can disclose without spoiling the story. 
 Where I feel this story fell flat is after the "plot twist". Now don't get me wrong, it threw me and I literally put the book down for a couple minutes to think (if you've read it you know what twist I'm referring to). But to be fair, I'm not hard to surprise and even played out story lines can catch me off guard. But after the twist I kept waiting for more and nothing really ever came. I wanted the ending to blow me away, go somewhere I wasn't expecting (whether it was dark, or sad, or incredible happy) and it just didn't. I wanted to give this book a 4.5 or a 5 and because of the last section I settled on a 4 star rating. Still very much enjoyable and easy to read, nothing particularly dragging or boring, and I never gave up and skimmed pages. 
 But overall, this book has opened me up to considering more adult literary fiction. I think younger readers can relate to Rosemary because she is 22, and I personally happened to pick this up right after I turned 22. Her commentary is hilarious, she's sarcastic and smart and you will genuinely feel for her. Anyone who feels they may be "outgrowing" YA should give this book a try, and anyone who enjoys a good piece of adult fiction will likely enjoy this (especially if any of you took some psychology courses in uni).
