I had a hard time putting this book down. I was always compelled to find out "what happens next"; BUT, I also had a hard time believing much of the story. The 16-year-old girl was portrayed more like a wise, elderly woman. The actions some of the characters took, putting themselves and a young child at risk were completely unbelievable. If you can accept that much of the story would not have happened in the real world, the book is relatively enjoyable. My husband and book club had similar opinions.
