Review: Could have used a little more of quite a lot...

I believe the tale had a great premise, but the characters were not developed enough to pull the reader completely into the book.  The only explanation I have is that the author constantly summarized her scenes.  Towards the end of the book, it made me want to scream.  Show me the story, don't tell me what happened.  Not one I would personally recommend unless you can get over being taken to a tense moment in a scene and then hit in the face with a summary. Then some of the transitions were too detailed (i.e., when she is changing to go down to the final dinner where everything came crashing to a head...  I kept expecting the Mother to show up there.  But it just ended uneventful.  I'm not sure the purpose for including those paragraphs/pages.  I was left really disappointed today.
