I'm not sure why this book is getting so much praise.
The basic premise is good but the writing becomes increasingly cartoonish as the novel progresses and the dialog is stilted throughout.
The author drags out a murder scene (where the other characters react in way real people would not) that leads to an unsatisfying ending.
It's as though the author was the popular kid in her MFA program and now book publishing eco system feels compelled to praise her.
I asked a couple of other people to read this book to see if it was just me.
Neither of them made it past the third chapter.
