I just finished So Much Pretty, by Cara Hoffman. This was an impulse buy; it's on sale at Downpour ($5) so I thought I'd give it a try. I'm not sure exactly what to make of it--it had a lot going on, like the author wanted to make certain points in the context of the story (ostensibly about a young girl's murder in a rural community), even if they had to be shoehorned in. It's choppy because the story is told from various points of view and the timeline isn't linear, and it takes a while to realize where the author is actually going. Unlike some other audiobooks with multiple POVs and multiple narrators, this one had a single narrator, Aimee Bruneau, whom I'd never heard before. She did a pretty good job with mostly subtle variations in character voices, rather than going over the top.
It held my interest, but it's unsettling and dark in an unpleasant way.
