I bought this book back in January because the back of the book makes it sound very interesting. It's now July and I'm still not finished with it. I don't usually mind the first person point of view, but with the Van Tassel character narrating, it seems to weigh down the book and make it so completely boring. I have gone almost half way through the book and I can't see where it's going and I could honestly care less. The characters are very uninteresting and a book with characters that don't engage a reader is really hard to read. I have given up reading this book and it'll sit on my shelf until I can try to find a way to get rid of it, I'm just glad that I only paid $4.99 for it. I recommend staying away from this book but if you must attempt to read, borrow it from the library so you won't waste your money like I did.
