Little Bee by Chris Cleave

3.0

---

I wanted to love this book more than I did but I couldn't stand the characters except for Little Bee and Charlie. Let's talk about Lawrence...who the hell did he think he was and why was Sarah giving him so much power? He was nothing more than a side piece and for him to bring his loser ass to the house and tell Little Bee to pretty much get her black ass out of the house was too much. I wanted him to go somewhere and have several seats. Sarah was a hot mess. How are you going to bring your side piece in your bed that you shared with your recently dead husband days ago? Andrew's body was barely cold in the ground before Sarah had Lawrence over. And speaking of Andrew, he was a lil punk. These characters were despicable. I really wanted to cry when the book detailed what Little Bee had been through and the death of her sister.Despite me not liking some of the characters it was still a good story and kept me interested until the end.
