I picked this up because it is on Oprah’s book list. It’s a quick read at less than 300 pages, but utterly boring the entire way. The characters are extremely flat and strange. The only likeable people in this novel are Lydia and King.

It’s extremely predictable. The dialogue got on my nerves, especially the way that every other word is in italics. There were useless characters and situations (see: Lavendar Blue) that did not add to the plot, that is just page filler.

I did not like this book at all. Not even at one point.
