This book is unusual and engrossing. A 16 year old girl gets infatuated with an older man and as a result ends up on the wrong side of the law. Remembering mistakes I made at this age, luckily without the dire consequences, the actions of CeeCee are understandable but still stupid.
It took me a while to work out how the different protagonists were related to each other (or not). If I'd paid a bit more attention to the time frames and names used early on, I would have cottoned on a bit faster.
The action spans more than 20 years and never gets boring.
I have posted about 3 other books by this author - The Stolen Marriage , The Dream Daughter and Big Lies in a Small Town
I’ve only read The Dream Daughter and I liked it. I’ll have to check out more of her work.
ReplyDeleteI love your phrase 'cottoned on!' We say that here in Texas, too!!
