I like it when there’s the main plot of the story but then a secondary plot of the main character and what’s going on in their life. I just don’t like it when they crossover each other because then it becomes overdramatic. In this book, however,(view spoiler)[ it wasn’t too far-fetched that they were both connected. I feel like authors make the setting in a small town and think that’s enough of a reason for the main character to have so much to do with what is going on. Well, it’s not but Flynn did a good job with her character development and such to have all the story lines meet in the end without just reaching. (hide spoiler)]
My suspicions were a little too extravagant for what ended up happening in the book. (view spoiler)[My thoughts were that Camille’s mom was the one with the psychological torment (it’s also filled with other heavy topics that I wasn’t expecting), but it was Alan killing and getting rid of the girls because she took it too far. I couldn’t figure out the teeth until it was revealed when Camille was getting an interview but at that point it was handed to the reader. I was a little correct about how it all went down. I just wasn’t expecting it to be Amma. (hide spoiler)]
Amma and her friends are very stereotypical of what teenage girls are like. Don’t get me wrong, girls can be mean (and most of the time are), but not in such a way that is shown in the book. In real life it’s more subtle and less of a reality TV drama series. This was the only thing that really bothered me about the writing style in the book.
