Title: Well-written melodrama
Review: Flock is excellent at getting inside the head of her main character, Carrie. However, the places she takes Carrie will feel cliched to anyone who's ever read Southern fiction or seen an M. Night Shyamalan movie. You have the abusive, dirt-poor stepfather, the charming but feckless dead papa, the careworn mama, the kindly neighbors -- nothing you haven't seen. I figured out the twist about thirty pages in and spent most of the rest of the book waiting for my suspicion to be confirmed. (I'm pretty sure Flock cheats a few times to try to disguise it, but that could be defended as being a POV issue. She's also inconsistent with the timing of the backstory -- but, again, that could be a POV issue.) It was depressing going, and not so much worth it.It's not a bad book by any means, but you've seen it all done better before.
