I found that this book was poorly written and the precocious young protagonist annoying and dull. She was not exciting enough to lead the book and her point of view of naivete brinking on complete maturation was disbelievable.

The story really didn't need to be told. It could have been done in a more concise way, perhaps from multiple points of view, but staying with the sole, boring protagonist, the story ran stagnant.

The conclusion (the whodunnit if you will) was the only reason I kept reading and even that was a rushed after thought.

I do not recommend this book.
