It reads more like a literary fiction book, especially in the past time line.
Contrary to most other reviews I've seen I actually really liked the 1974 timeline, for a lot of the book I actually found the group and their dynamics more compelling than Chess and Emily.
I'm actually really impressed by how much character work Rachel Hawkins was able to fit into this relatively short novel.
The mystery aspect of this book didn't feel too mysterious to me, hence my verdict that this read more like a literary novel. I never felt compelled to figure out what really happened and for the most part was able to guess where the story would go. Still I enjoyed seeing it unfold on the page.
