Thank you to Netgalley and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt for the free ARC of this book in exchange of an honest review.
The cover and summary of this one piqued my interest as soon as I saw it. As I started to read the book, thought, I couldn't help but feel a bit underwhelmed, and often disappointed. The pace felt so slow for me, and I couldn't get in touch with most of Elin's motives and attitudes. It was so hard to connect with most of the characters as well. I didn't like it, overall. Just not my cup of tea.

While this was not a bad book by any means, the major story line was built on lack of communication which is a pet peeve of mine in books. If the characters would have just talked and been honest with each other, this book would have never happened.
