If it hadn't been for the first three hundred pages, this might have been a tolerable read; not great but the sort of mindless rubbish one could enjoy at the beach. Sadly, the plot was rendered completely unenjoyable by an interminable, uninteresting and awkwardly written set-up for the actual story which doesn't start until halfway through the book. Any relevant information contained in the beginning chapters could easily have been referenced as flashbacks or memory-sharing between characters but instead we are treated to page after page after page of stilted conversations and pointless musings that do nothing but breed irritation. By the time our protagonist's mother finally died, I was glad to see the back of her after waiting soooo long for it to happen since it was clear from the first chapter that would be the catalyst for the whole story. It saddens me to see what was a good story idea so tragically bungled.
Many thanks to St. Martin's Griffin Press for the advanced reader copy.
