how refreshing to be able to put the blame for all your mistakes on your family. another book for women in which their destiny is written, literally, on their body: creepily entertaining all the same.

This is the type of book that you sit up all night reading. I seriously got nothing done until it was finished. An exceptional book with a very dark plot line. Really well written, and the ending managed to surprise me. Lots of twists and turns! Highly recommended.

This book is creepy. And not in the keep you up at night way. It's truly disturbing. I can't believe this is the author's first novel. I only wish I could write in the same witty and compelling way. This one will stay with me for a very long time. Headed to the bookstore now for her second novel.

My thoughts

This was a beautifully written book - both disturbing and poignant. The character Camille certainly made me think as she discovers the truth about herself and her family.
