The Lake of Dreams by Kim Edwards
My rating: 1 of 5 stars
I have so many issues with this book and I feel compelled to list them but it basically amounts to me not liking this book.
The main character is annoying. Very, very annoying. Her approach to life is puzzling, her lack of happiness is depressing and her attitude toward others is horrible. She flees her family and hometown then returns when her mom is involved in a very minor accident. While home, she debates about the possibility of reviving a high school relationship, accuses her uncle of murder, involves herself in a land grab and becomes enmeshed in a lackluster mystery. The windows, the lost relative, the boyfriend halfway around the world - none of it interested me. And there were so many random ideas floating through the plot - the glass blowing, the suffragettes, the boyfriend for her mom...it was just so disjointed. The "mystery" was so dull, however, that it's ultimately what I hated most.
