I didn't really dislike the book, I just found it a bit predictable and many story lines going at the same time. The book left me feeling a bit down and feeling pity for the "recluse" and irritation towards others for not engaging in her life more. All in all, it was a quick, easy read but I don't know if I would recommend it to others.

I tend to get a little bored with slower books but this one kept me turning the pages. The story does jump around chronologically but I don't mind that. I also liked that different things or events were happening at the same time depending on the character. It kept it interesting in my opinion. It wasn't one of my top favorites but it's not a bad read and you can't beat the price!
