BookLender review by Stephanie on 2011-05-25 17:38:45

I really wanted to like this book and went into it expecting to read something great. However, the book was very disappointing, frustrating, and annoying. I thought the book would focus on Little Bee and her experiences, but it seemed like the majority of the book focused on a selfish and inconsiderate woman instead who decides to fall for a loser. The book was really hard to get through and the only reason I did was because I kept hoping itd get better...which it didnt. Ive never disliked a set of characters more.
