#46: Drowning Ruth

I read Drowning Ruth by Cristina Schwarz over the past few weeks.  Someone on facebook had said it was hard to put down, so I thought I'd check it out.  It is set around a lake in Wisconsin and tells the story of two sisters.  Ruth is actually the daughter of Maddie (Mathilda) and and neice of Amanda (Mandy or Amy).  Lots of nicknames given throughout the book.  The story is told by Ruth and Amanda.  It gives details about the lives of all characters at different points in their lives.  Early on in the story, we are told that Mathilda disappeared one night and was later found in the icy lake.  Throughout the whole book we try to learn what really happened the night that Ruth and Mathilda "drowned".
This book started out really slow for me.  About 1/3 of the way through, it started to hold my attention more.  It's hard to go into too many details without giving away some interesting parts in the story.  At the end, I just felt like too many things were left unsolved.  The idea for the story was good, but the end was not all that I had hoped it would be.
