This book was weird. If I hadn't won it in a Giveaway, I probably wouldn't have finished it. The writing wasn't anything impressive, the topic was strange, and the mystery was underwhelming.

I had read Worst Case Scenario by this author last year, and I really liked it. I saw that Newman's debut novel was available from the library and figured it would be a quick, tense, and safe read while I'm in a little bit of a slump. Unfortunately, this one did not match up to the quality of the other one. For the most part, the actual experience reading it was just fine. But the glaring plot issues and the weak characters made this book a less-than-stellar experience.

This book taught me a very valuable lesson about picking books to read just because there's a dramatic flower bouquet on the cover.
