Before We Visit the Goddess

2.5. I loved the first half of the book, but the second half was confusing. The book changed POV & time periods frequently. Characters disappeared, others popped up with very little backstory. Also, small details like a teenager having a cell phone and texting in the 90s wasn't believable. 

The dialogue was great, but I could never warm up or get to know any of the characters. Overall, this book fell flat for me.
