The Painted Girls by Cathy Marie Buchanan
Family
Buchanan has a gift with words. Her style is poetic and elegant, while at the same time gritty and realistic for the time period she's writing about. I was drawn in immediately by the plight of the main characters, and I couldn't wait to read on and discover what happened to them. Although I found the ending a little rushed and perhaps a bit too pat and simplistic, I greatly enjoyed going along for the ride and letting myself be swept away by the story Buchanan spun.
Not impressive at all. The characters didn't interest me, the different narrators for each chapter was annoying, and I just felt like the whole book was a struggle to read. Ugh.
