It took me a bit to get into it but then I really enjoyed it. Until I hated it. Another reviewer commented that it would have been stronger just from Bee's perspective and I agree. I didn't connect with Sarah at all.

Unfortunately, this book takes a while to get into. I finally became interested around page 100 (just before really, but not much). Once you hit that section, it moves quickly.
