DNF review: The writing style isn't for me and I was bored, confused and honestly kind of annoyed for the whole 67 that I read.
2° opportunity and finished review:
This book was really hard to get into- the writing is very metaphoric and? at the same time, kind of childish/immature and I honestly didn't knew what was happening in the first 100 pages or so. Some situations also didn't make much sense considering the character's age. The chapters were SO LONG and maybe it was too slow-paced for me. However, these characters are vibrant- they have so much life, personality and depth. The story is good (with some ups and downs), but it's definitely the characters that stand out in this book. I was also very satisfied with the ending, which definitely played a big part on my overall positive review.
