4.5

I was pleasantly surprised by this. It is not something that I would typically read, but I'm glad I took the chance. It was very well written, and I finished it in about a day and a half, which was going slow for how much I wanted to read it. 

I think what I loved about it, other people might not, but I do think that it's a book that everyone should try to read.

The story was so slow moving that I almost stopped after an hour but pushed through. It didn’t improve at all though. It was a good concept for a novel but it just didn’t full develop into one. It was overly descriptive to the point of being boring. I originally rated it 1 star but changed to 2 stars after attending a book reading by the author and listening to her explain her thought process behind it. Still would not recommend though.
