Great story Enjoyable ( )

Hace un año, Caroline Johnson eligió acabar con su vida de forma brutal: un suicidio planeado para ponerle fin a todo del mismo modo que lo hizo su marido meses atrás. Su hija, Anna, ha luchado desde entonces para superar la pérdida, el vacío y el dolor de un desenlace que aún no ha podido comprender.
Ahora, con una hija pequeña a su cargo, Anna hecha de menos a su madre más que nunca, y las dudas sobre su muerte y la de su padre no hacen sino crecer con el paso de los días. Sin embargo, ¿es posible que indagando en el pasado esté poniendo en peligro su futuro? ¿Es posible que sus padres no se suicidaran? ¿Es posible que, después de todo, sea mejor vivir en la mentira?

A huge element of this book revolved around mental health and felt very much like it was thrown in as a gimmick. It was sideline relevant, but... not really. ( )

This seemed like a story I would like; however I could not finish it. I could not connect to the main character Anne (whose name I just struggled to remember!), and the other characters felt stilted. I could not focus past a few sentences, and often would have to go back and reread what was there. I would not discourage anyone from reading the story, it just did not grab my attention. Maybe I will again later!

UPDATE:
I did take up this book again. The next few chapters were decent and I thought - oh hey I might actually like this - and no. Once the mother comes back I could not even force myself to read on.
