I gave this book a 3 star rating because I have mixed feelings. I must admit that I was confused for the first 100 pages or so. Once I finally figured out what was going on, the story was easier to follow and the actions/dialogue of the characters made sense.

By the end of the book, I was really enjoying it. It included an overriding theme that I normally do not select--and which is not mentioned in the description. Since that particular theme (I won't be a spoiler) is featured throughout the majority of the book, I believe the omission is intentional because they (the publisher probably) felt it might cause her usual readers to stay away.

Ultimately, I'm glad I gave this book a chance. It does not rank among my top favorites, but was an enjoyable, diverting little book that ended stronger than it began.
