I found the story to be rather depressing and slow at the beginning but then it picked up somewhat towards the middle. I found the characters not very likeable, and I really couldn't stand Anna. Rachel seemed to be the only decent person within the story. There were no situations within the novel that were pleasant and some parts were not very well developed.
The ending was rather good but that was about it. It was a pretty average novel, in my estimation, nothing outstanding.
