Title: Truly Terrible
Review: This book is awful. As previous reviewers have said, it takes a great writer to write in the present tense, and Alice Hoffman is not such a writer. The writing is also cliche-ed, and worse, is trying to be grandiose and literary, while falling flat. I found I didn't care about the characters, nor did I find them believable. I only finished the book because it is an incredibly quick read, and because I wanted to know whether it ever improved. I feel like Hoffman didn't feel like writing any more after 275 pages, so she tacked on the neatest ending. Don't bother to buy it.
