Only 32 pages into this book, and it is already one of the most interesting (and slightly confusing!) things I have ever read!
This book is very unique in the fact that the chapters switch viewpoints between different characters. You have to pay very close attention to the heading at the beginning of the chapter to know whose viewpoint you are experiencing. Also, the book is unique because it is written in the 2nd person -- meaning the main pronoun used is "you." It was slightly difficult to adapt to this idea, for example, in the first chapter the reader is in Sue's shoes, and is experiencing everything from her point of view, with "you" meaning yourself being Sue. It's a really interesting aspect, and definitely a hook to get people to pick up the book.
So far, Sue's story is the only one that I really have a grasp on. I'm not quite sure yet on how Elaine and Jack fit into the story, because the information given in their chapters doesn't really relate at all to the summary on the back of the book which only talks about the story we are given in Sue's chapter. I'm looking forward to figuring out how all these puzzle pieces fit together!
