The first 2/3 of this book were mediocre. The pace was slow. But, it was not too boring. Then the final 1/3 of the book changed everything. There were surprises and sadness and plot twists. I recommend this book, but if you get bored at first…please please finish it cause the ending is insane!

The book starts with the end. So you know how it ends. The build up is what makes it good. You always want to know how it gets there. The reasons mentioned right at the beginning play an important role throughout the hole book.
Definitely a challenge to keep reading as you just won't want the ending to come.
I would definitely describe it as a Romeo and Juliet of modern days.
