I struggled to read it due to lack of quotation marks and age difference relationship.

I really enjoyed this book, though it took me a while to finish for some reason (I would read a good bit at once then put it down for a month). I love the writing style. 

The suddenness of Michael Agnew’s death caught me off guard, though there were hints that he was in some kind of danger, it was simply a single sentence about it happening. Wasn’t as dramatic (like having Cushla find him or something) than I would’ve imagined.
