For a debut novel, this book is great. It is well written and engaging. The plot, after the first chapters, kept my attention and was quite original. The characters were good, they had depth and dimension. However this is where I would get stuck, especially in the beginning. Some of the facets of the characters, mainly Naomi and her mother, seemed too unreal and would jar me out of the story. Due to this and what I felt was a slow beginning, I almost put the book down. As the story progressed, these facets smoothed out and the book took off. I am very happy I stuck with it; I wasn't ready for the story to end when it did. I will definitely read the sequel.I would recommend this book to almost anyone. If the start feels slow, stick with it. I did and I was pleasantly surprised.
