Title: Disappointing ending and too many similies
Review: This book was recommended to me by a bookstore owner. I couldn't put the book down - true. I really wanted to see how it would end and felt that it was building to this big surprise ending. For instance, all of a sudden Astrid remembers this girl Annie but can't remember much about her. And then there's the loose ends with her father. I didn't feel satisfied with how those issues were resolved. I felt cheated. And, Fitch uses too many similies. After reading this book and Memoirs of a Geisha (which I truly did like) I wonder if authors think they aren't good writers unless they fill their books with loads of similies. It gets tiring and distracting! As one other reader critized "After a while I just rolled my eyes."
