I read this for my library's book club, thus motivating me to finish it. Thankfully it was a quick read and somewhat kept my interest, but in the end, it wasn't anything amazing. I am admittedly not well-read at all in this genre so it's new territory for me, but the story felt like a corny episode of a TV mystery drama. The leaf and photo metaphors on every other page were very played out by the end. Also, as the story spiraled downwards with the characters' increasing mistrust and deception, there were a lot of gaping plot holes and plain common sense stuff that just didn't add up.
