2 of 5 stars

Drinking, screwing, puking, and tea time do not constitute character development. I never cared about any of the characters, nor do I feel did the author. I gave this book 2 stars since the “hook” is why I read to the end instead of dropping it within 50 pages. Sadly, the hook wasn’t really that great.

I wonder if the last chapter was the first piece written and submitted for the book proposal. The tone and fluidity of the last chapter was fantastic, powerful and visceral. But I have to ask, where was that strength for the rest of the novel? This could have been a 4 star book, easy.
