Clever use of different writing styles pulls the reader into the story from the first few pages. The hotel is the focus of a girl killed in a fall, her sister and three others. Each character’s voice is written in a different style highlighting their different life experiences. The reader might be able to identify with their experiences as their stories unfold.
