2.5
This was a disappointment for me. Slow paced books are supposed to shine in the character development but all the characters felt so empty and one dimensional. It was super repetitive (which I understand is meant to mimic Addie’s existence but still, a book is still meant to be enjoyed) but with no payoff. The ending was just as predictable and boring as the rest of the book. I gave it 2.5 stars only because it wasn’t horrible, I just don’t see all the good a lot of people do. If it wasn’t so long for no reason I may have rated it higher.
