This book was fine. It was okay. Honestly, when I pick up a book like this, I just want to be entertained for a few hours, but this story didn't do all that much to pull me in. It just kind of happened. I'm a compulsive reader, and it wasn't a challenging read, so of course, I finished it, but nothing was too shocking. The concept of telling the story backward is interesting, but it doesn't work out all that well in execution in this case. Since the story is told backward, we lose all understanding of how the characters' relationships with each other have developed over the course of the story. I half wonder if Miranda wrote it in a more traditional sequence and then some editor just came along and was like, "What if you just flipped the order of all the chapters? Wouldn't that be cool? Inventive! Wow! Do it!" and so she did it.
