I can't believe that statement of Donoghue, especially with regard to this book. It does start slowly, but after a while, I had a hard time putting it down.
I agree. It is too bad she could not have put "Mom" flashback or at least more perspective in there to help keep readers (I am sure she lost some because I left it and read another book and came back to it and pushed on) to get to the point where it grabs you and see how amazing it is by having the combo of their perspectives.
Lol at Emma Donoghue making a "big mistake" because one reader wasn't grabbed in the first 50 pages? Here I thought writing was subjective...
i completely agree with you! i had a hard time getting past the first couple of pages.

I couldn't agree more. If a book doesn't grab me in the first 50 pages, it's not worth it.
