I read the book Swallowing Stones by Joyce McDonald. This was a book I would not read again. The plot was very random and hard to follow. There were two characters that are very key to the book, but seem as though they were randomly mentioned in the book. In the beginning, Michael’s girlfriend randomly appears in the book. Next, Jenna’s boyfriend randomly appears as well. The author actually had the character’s dialogue say, “I had almost forgot I even had a boyfriend.” This book seemed like one that was not very well thought out. It was not interesting at all, and the climax happened within the very first page. This is not a book I would recommend anyone else to read.
