I really had to stick to this one as I almost put it away several times. I'm however happy I stuck to it as it did improve. Slow start and found it a bit oddly written, afterwards parts of that made sense.

3.0

I feel so conflicted? I was genuinely lost the entire book, and then the ending happened, and I was like actually it all makes sense now but still, I feel like the pacing could’ve been better, and I can’t believe it took that long to know what the hell was going on. I enjoyed the characters and the twist was certainly something but I don’t think it was worth putting myself through I just didn’t understand the point for majority of the book.
