Darkness Before Dawn

I've read much better books by Ms. Draper than this one. From page one (well...not page one exactly but as soon as Hathaway was introduced) I knew exactly what was going to happen. The only reason that I read the pages in between was to add another book to my list for 2014 and make my reading goal. I hoped that the characters would show some growth in between and make up at least partially for Draper's utter lack of imagination and way too spelled out foreshadowing. I was not in luck. I would avoid this particular book of hers. Hopefully this is just a one off. (I'm reading another one that is much, much better.)
I do not recommend this book.
