I’ve been on the fence about this one because of some DNFs and less-than-stellar reviews, but I can usually withstand some pacing issues, as long as things eventually pick back up. I may give it a try. The writing l

When I think of some of the stuff we’ve read I know you can handle it! The slow pace may bother you more than anything.

Plenty of people let go because of the pacing. I thought the same thign when I started it- where is this going? But I liked the writing enough to stick with it and it all came together. Maybe add to your TBR for a slow month?

I really loved her writing. It’s not a happy novel, but there’s beauty in it.

I’m on the wait list for it. It sounds pretty gritty but I think I can handle it 🙂

Sadly, I DNF’d it and probably too soon. Reading your description make me think I’d have liked it more as the story progressed. The sort of quasi family Jodi created sounds really emotional and interesting. I did think Maren’s writing was beautiful. Just wish the story had moved a little more.

I usually love books about young women in rural settings, particularly when the writing is good. Thanks for the warning about the pacing – I’m hoping that knowing that will make it less frustrating! I saw it was available on SCRIBD so I may check it out there 🙂
