Whilst reading the book I was quite captivated with the characters portrayed. The author had good prose and character definition. I felt that the story could have gone a lot further than the examination, of a girls younger life and relationship with her father. I would have liked to see how as a woman, the events had shaped her life in her decisions around a current situation that she was in. The book felt more like background, going on to a bigger involved plot.
I feel the author is selling herself short and should in fact be writing a more involved book plot wise, as she does have the talent to write a terrific novel if she ever get's the chance to do so. To me it simply felt that the book was about 30 chapters short. A nice easy read though I guess.
