I'm confused by the rave reviews this book got. I had to really trudge through this book to even finish it, and hated every minute of it. As some of the other reviewers correctly noted, this book was in serious need of editing and proofreading. Generally speaking, a good story will help me overlook editing issues, but this story was not good. The characters were so one dimensional and unbelievable. Sinclaire's mother was past bad. She was simply a cartoonish stereotype of a classic unloving mother type. Was there anything negative she didn't say to Sinclaire? Honestly I kept thinking that this author was trying to recreate their own version of the book "Push" that was the basis for the "Precious" movie. Classic hateful mother, self destructive daughter? Additionally there were too many plot twists and things going on, so much so that it became quite distracting to keep track of who was who and what they were doing. I would not recommend this book to anyone. Sorry.
