Blessing in disguise Book

Disappointed

I expected so much more after reading the synopsis of this book. I expected more of a political fiction at the time of the civil rights movement of the 60's. Instead I had the big scandal figured out by chapter 6. The rest was about two dysfunctional families that have the same problems as any broken homes. I can't believe I read the whole thing. I did not like the authors style of writing. The chapters were too long and most irritating was the way one paragraph could have have two completely different conversations going on on different days. Had to do a lot of read overs to figure out who was talking to who and when. Also lots of careless misspelled small words. Overall, book could have easily been cut 100 pages and covered the same story. Way too many people to keep track off, as well.
