For as wild and feral as the characters are, this was a very bland read. Way too many loose ends (so…what‘s with Eleanor‘s mom?…no one is gonna explain that one?) and way too many stupid bits that the author tries to make into gothic enigmas…she did not do a great job at that. But hey, if you want to read a book about a stereotypical weird girl and the family that she doesn‘t feel connected to, then go for it! But be warned, this book has no bite.
