The lack of speech marks was super annoying. Why is this a thing? There were times where I couldn’t tell if a character was still speaking or just thinking/narrating which was jarring. The numerous terrible decisions made by the main characters were painful, but I suppose there would be no plot without this. The ending I wanted happened literally on the last page so overall I was just left feeling sad and frustrated, which were my feelings throughout the entire book, and I’m not into that. However, my hope for the two main characters kept me going and I found myself able to read it fairly quickly so it definitely wasn’t boring.
