Query: Very disappointing

I had high expectations after reading THE BEE SEASON, but found this book to be a very ordinary romantic novel with little depth. Okay for beach reading but am surprised it's a best seller. Found the characters quirky but not that interesting. I lmost quit half way but since it is so popular, I hung in. The mysteries within the book -- for example about why the mother mutilated herself -- took forever to be answered.
