The Memory Keeper by Kim Edwards

This book by Edwards did not move me. The story moved too slowly for me without a lot of hope that the ending would be good. I lost hope of a true reconciliation about 3/4 of the way through.

I think that I could not relate to the characters or their situation - it was so labored. New characters were introduced, but never seemed to make any difference in the main characters lives. It was just like reading a journal without much change in the hearts of the characters. The main story idea was intriguing, but I lost interest when the story just kept going. I would not recommend this book. The ending really was unsatisfying for me as a reader.

Thanks for reading
