About book The Other Story (2013)

I loved Sarah's Key and I assumed this would be equally good....boy, was I wrong. None of the characters are even likable, particularly the main character who is an obnoxious jerk. How many times do we need to read about what he does in his "alone time" in the bathroom, if you catch my drift? Ugh. I couldn't wait for this pointless book to end, but the ending was even worse and more contrived than I could ever have imagined. Please, don't waste your time or money on this one. Terrible. I kept reading to see if anything would happen.... It didn't. The main character as such a jerk. His girlfriend crazy jealous. It kept jumping back and forth in time. To Bo honest I skipped about forty pages, and didn't miss anything. I still knew what was happening. I loved Sarah's key, I though this was going to be as gripping and page-turningly amazing as that one. But no. What a waste of a tree.
