Honestly, I read this for a book club and would never read it again. While I found the quotes at the beginning of each extremely short chapter to be mildly intriguing, the rest of the novel wasn’t. The storyline was predictable and boring (except for a mild shock in the end). The short chapters made it a fast read. I agree with most of the other reviewers that Nellie’s character was more interesting and developed, while Alice’s was extremely annoying, underwhelming and underdeveloped, perhaps even a bit unhinged. The narrator for Alice was also grating to the ears and whiny, much like Alice herself. The ending itself seemed underdeveloped and unsatisfactory, basically my entire impression of the novel.
