Marisel 

I found this book interesting at the onset, then really tediously boring. My family often teases me about my penchant for literary drama, and yet I could not get through this book. Just way too many depressingly dramatic stories and I felt not very connected to most of the people in the town in any way that made me care about their fates. The unintended, yet vivid racial profiling was also disturbing. After having read a good solid few hundred pages, I skimmed through the rest and felt no regrets. Meh.
