Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffenegger

One of my all-time favorite books is The Time Traveler's Wife, so naturally when I heard the author, Audrey Niffenegger, would be coming out with a new novel at the end of September I got really excited. I was even more excited when I got my hands on an advanced copy of said novel. (Sometimes I really love my job!)

I loved this book almost immediately; I loved the almost gothic feel and the characters were interesting and quirky. As a big fan of almost anything supernatural, I also enjoyed the ghost-story aspect of this book. Overall it was interesting and well told ... until the end.

As much as I love Audrey Niffenegger's writing style, I must say that I didn't really love the ending of this novel. It felt a little rushed and awkward to me. It was great right up until the very last chapter, then I just felt kinda meh, this is how it ends? It was a little disappointing, although I'm not sure it completely ruined the book. I would recommend at least giving it a try, perhaps you'll view the ending differently from me.
