I
listened to this novel on audiobook and it wasn't until the 5th disk that
Cecilia "discovered" the secret that the reader should have figured
out by at least disk 3. So while the
next 2 disks were entertaining, I was impatiently waiting for the secret to be
"revealed". I felt the
characters had no depth and the entire book was a little too "fluffy"
for me. Although the narrator had
character in her voice there was no distinctions in the dialogue which made it
difficult to follow unless Ester was speaking (she has a lisp). Now for what I
did like - there are so many issues and what-if's that this story definitely
would lead a great discussion and I loved the epilogue, which in its own way
gave the book a purpose. Overall, I felt it was watching a train wreck, but not
wanting to look away. Some may call it the perfect summer read.
