I found this more of a struggle to connect with and stay interested in. She still writes well, and perhaps it was just where I was, maybe I will revisit at some point and try again, but I struggled with this one.

Oh god this was bad. The boring, slow, tryhard-strange, slightly paedophilic book was made 10X worse when we had to read it out loud in a class where only 25% of us could properly form a sentence.

Bad book, bad memories associated with it.

Maybe it would've been a better book if the author hadn't tried so damn hard to make it screwed. It didn't make sense ON PURPOSE and all the stupid similies and allegories just made me want to rip the book in half.

...Which I did.

CONS: The part where the book probably wasn't even in English it was so stupidly, annoyingly "complicated"

PROS: We didn't do any written work on it because there was literally nothing to write about.

Just...just don't read it.
