![]() ![]() They appear to be discussing the events years and years after they occurred, trying to figure it all out in their minds by piecing together evidence and interviews, but it’s sort of awkward. It’s an okay idea, but it definitely prevents anyone from taking personal responsibility for their perspective. The guys have names (well, some of them do), but the perspective is of them as a group. The guys in town who attended school with the sisters provide all of the detail. The first issue is the narrative structure – the book is told from a collective first person. As a plot device, that works in this instance. There’s no surprise, really, except in how the five sisters will all take their lives by the end of the book, but the first couple of pages make it clear that they do. The title tells you what’s going to happen in the book. It was a pretty quick read, and definitely held my interest. While it isn’t one of mine, it isn’t bad. This novel is one of my sister’s favorites so I needed to check it out. ![]()
