Although I read this book fairly quick because it was an easy read, it just never "got there" for me. I wanted to like it but there was no depth to the characters and at times was easy to get lost in the conversations of the characters. I almost felt like I could see the author playing the conversations out in her head while no one else understands what she's saying because she's leaving out important tid bits. I wanted to like Rory because he had the most history but Beth the main character isn't even vanilla, she's cardboard.

Sometimes after reading a book I feel deeply impacted, good or bad. I wasn't sure how I felt when I finished this book. I was so sad that this happened to a little girl and that this girl, now woman, will have to live with this the rest of her life. I was sad for her two little girls and for the family that was left wondering for so long. It disgust me that there are people in the world that can cause this much hurt. My book club read this and although the book was interesting, I don't think we got into discussion as much as we have with other books. The fun of a book club is discussing our different takes on a story and our opinions. For the most part I think we all had a shared opinion.
