Walking in Circles Before Lying Down

I wanted to like this book based on the synopsis, but I was extremely disappointed. The characters are annoying and one dimensional at best. Dawn is wishy-washy, sister Halley intensely high strung and irritating, as is her mother. With pedantic writing, never finding the "biting wit" that was promised, the story plods along thorough Dawn's idiotic choices and stupid actions. More than once I was tempted to wall-bang the book. Slogging through, it didn't improve. The cover illustration isn't even the right breed of dog for any of the dogs in the story. Don't waste a credit.
