This book was so full of anger and sadness it made it hard to read and stay with. Many times I just wanted to give up and put it down but wanting to know how life turned out for her kept me going so needless to say the ending was not only a big disappointment but left me hanging. I don't care much for books that do that. Yes I see another book coming but don't think I'm interested at all. The writing style was very odd also. All in all this book just wasn't for me.
