So Depressing
I really liked the cover of the book and from the description, I was expecting a lot more suspense. Instead, I found the novel too depressing. I just couldn't fathom how Jake Dahl could even cope with everything that was happening -- extreme poverty, his mother's suicide and having to raise a younger brother.
In addition, I found the transitions from Ava to Jake a little choppy since I had difficulty determining whose point of view was being told. Needless to say, I didn't particularly like this novel.
