Reply To: Surprise read

I think I’m the odd one out. My book club picked this to read this month so I knew I would love it, but I didn’t.  It started out very strong with some mystery and interesting characters. I liked the writing style, too. But as it went on I thought the story progressed too quickly and the characters lost the charm and intrigue that they originally held. When it was finished I felt I missed out on too much of their lives. It hadn’t kept the connection that I had in the first half of the story.  Don’t get me wrong, I liked the book, I just didn’t love it like I wanted to.
