Negative Positive
Title: Rather overworked theme; nothing spectacluar
Review: I bought this book based on the back blurb, but I think that whoever wrote that description didn't read much more than 2 chapters in. Character development was rather weak (especially for Isabel's mother, on whom the plot should seemingly hinge, vis a vis her daughter), and the timeline of events is somewhat chopped up because of the great jumps in time between each section of the book. Basically, there are other stories of this ilk that have been written better, and you wouldn't miss much by passing up this book.
Is the review positive or negative?
