The plot didn't seem to be moving whatsoever. For the majority of this book, I was wondering what the point of the story was. I love a controversial read, something that makes me uncomfortable and able to question societal norms. Lie Lay Lain had some of that, especially in terms of racial stereotypes, but I wasn't sold. I expected to love this book, not only because of the Marrow connection but because All the Ugly and Wonderful Things by Bryn Greenwood is one of the most incredible books I've ever read. While I can see the minor similarities between the two books, Lie Lay Lain just didn't do it for me. Tarryn mentioned this book was similar to her novel, Marrow, which happens to be my all-time favorite book. Thanks to my new PLN friend, Maureen, I was able to read this before my library was going to be able to get it in for me! So, like everyone else, when Tarryn told the folks in her reader group to pick up Lie Lay Lain by Bryn Greenwood, I added the book to my reading list.
