[Leah · Rating 2 out of 5]

It was okay. I think the three different story lines distracted the reader rather than intertwining to create a complete novel. I also did not care for the way she presents a character but doesn't tell you anything about them. She will be like Louisa walked up, and the reader has no idea who Louisa is or why we should care that she is in the story.
