I wanted to like this book. It had an interesting concept, checking in on the same people the same day each year. But I just didn't like Dexter. And, he didn't learn or evolve from his initial character. Doing the same thing over again and expecting different results - it just never works.
This had the potential to be an incredible read but I was disappointed by the abruptness of the ending. I would've preferred a more elaborate and detailed ending.
I don't know what exactly keeps me reading these books. The chapters jump from character to character, sometimes leading to a bit of confusion for my aging brain. The word choice is simple and does not encourage much introspective thought while reading. And the characters themselves can be anything but lovable. However... The storyline! What an expertly woven chain of events showing action and consequence. The intrigue of knowing and then not knowing who "A" is. The incredibly stupid decisions the main characters make that frighteningly is so realistic with today's average teen! (I can say that as I am the mom of two girls, one of whom just jumped with both feet into the teenage pool.) I have to admit, I'm hooked. Well played Sara Shepard, well played.
Beautiful writing, but whew, depressing.
