We are actually trying to find a house right now, so...great job choosing books, past me. That's what you get for picking up books without reading the blurb. Damn you, gorgeous cover! The writing style is very descriptive, but I had a hard time connecting with the story. It's just over 300 pages, but felt like forever. There are passages that went by without me catching what happened. I like the idea behind this book, but unfortunately it wasn't for me.
