Bleh. The storyline itself was okay until near the end of the book; the writing, however, left something to be desired. There were several instances of poor/incorrect word choices that really got on my nerves. For example, in one scene two women are witnessing a pretty horrific event, and they "exchanged mortified glances." Ugh. And, *minor spoiler here* I absolutely hated the plot twist at the end. The ending could have been done much better, the "surprises" were unnecessary and pretty annoying, in my opinion.
