I am very happy I got this book for free. I would be upset if I had paid for what I just finished. This is a very...strange book. It had a lot of promise, and honestly, the beginning had caught my interest. Which is the reason for the extra star. It's just that as I continued to read, it was starting to get weirder, and weirder. First off, someone needs to edit this book, badly. It jumps between first and third person POV, names are mixed up and wrong. Normally, I'm not one to point those things out, because I, myself don't notice them. But they were very apparent in this book.Second, none of the characters were likable. At all. I didn't care what happened to Charlotte, because I found her insufferable. Her sister was just as bad. Just...all of them were weird, angry people and I didn't like one of them. Not Tony, the brother in law who was the authors attempt at a normal, sane character. I just can't even stress how there was not one redeeming character in this whole book. There's no character development. There's no growth.The plot had a lot of promise, but it fell so short of what it could have been. I won't spoil anything, but the'twist' ending was just weird, and not believable at all. I always try to suspend some sense of reality when reading because I read for enjoyment, but it was just too far fetched for me. It could have been much better.I wouldn't recommend this book. It wasn't anything special, the characters were unlikable throughout the whole book, the plot although it had promise, didn't deliver. Plus, it seriously needs an editor.
