I didn't really enjoy this book. The writing was fine and the story had potential but I just didn't vibe with it, or the characters, or the pacing. For a short book it somehow felt slow and I didn't even remember Mary's name until like chapter 3 and the ending just left a lot to be desired, in my personal opinion. Not bad but not for me.
