Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffenegger

I really enjoyed reading The Time Traveller's Wife, so when I saw that Niffenegger had a second book out, I bought it. To be fair, the description did say that this was a ghost story. I was expecting an older version of The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman, which I loved. I was disappointed with this book. The characters and storylines felt disconnected and I found myself not caring about their fate. I think the Edie/Elspeth storyline could have been stronger in order to compare better with Julia/Victoria. Looking back, I should have waited to borrow it from the library, instead of buying it
