I had no idea what was going on with this book, it’s very short and I’m sad that it wasn’t what I was expecting. I could see where this story was going on and hope Pam Lecky writes again.

Um, ok. I had to double check that this was meant to be a novel, rather than a rough draft of a sort of white paper or thesis for a class. At 75 pages in, almost nothing had happened, except that Susie has freaked out because some men are following her twitter account. There is so much unnecessary inf-dumping and so little plot, dialogue, character development, and so little of the storytelling I generally expect in any novel. I have the education background to enjoy a novel centered around genomics, but this manuscript needs a lot more editing before I could get much out of it that I couldn't read more accessibly and enjoyably from a textbook. I am sure with a lot of not-too-gentle massaging this could turn into an interesting and even entertaining novel, but it is not there yet.

I want to thank you for the advanced opportunity to read this book. I was unable to finish reading I got 15 percent through the book and it is truly not for me . I felt more like I was reading non-fiction data analysis and the parts relating to the fictional character were very random and all over the place. I could not get into the story , the character , or the book. The cover is appealing and the description sounded like something I typically read and can get into but this book just wasn’t my cup of tea . Thank you for the opportunity . I would give it 1/5 stars .
