I tried really hard to like this book. I picked this book for my book club. I couldnt connect to the main character, the only person with any wit was audreys mom...she brought a spark of humor to this novel. I needed the writer to take me to all the places/scenes that she went to instead of "telling" me about them.. and make me go through what audrey went through instead of her "telling" me. It just wasnt written in the style that i am used to reading. Instead of getting the meat and potates, I got the bones.
