Customer Reviews
Good start-terrible ending
Book started out great but meandered off with odd short stories
Very disjointed
I feel like I read authors notes for stories, not a finished product. Multiple storylines that don’t segue or tie back to each other. I kept looking back to see if I somehow skipped over parts or ending of storylines. But the stories and characters were interesting and I would have liked to see them completed.
Disappointed
I usually just love books by this author, sometimes reading them more than once. The second half of this book was not good, as if someone else had written it.
