I disliked the first 300 pages, but was blown away by the last 100. I'm not sure it would ever be something I'd read again but I really respect how immersive and rounded the characters are - it's almost disturbing how lifelike they are

The way this book is written is stunning to say the least. I had a difficult time with some of the characters and their choices but I think that’s purposeful and real. This is a book I’ll be thinking about for a long time both for it’s artistry, character study, and it’s themes. Warning (not spoiler): this is a book that makes you self reflect a lot on your own relationships and choices.

Minor: Antisemitism, Religious bigotry, Injury/Injury detail, Hate crime, Racism, Homophobia, and Adult/minor relationship

None of the negative things are supported by the author or by her writing. They are performed by bad or complex characters who are doing bad or complicated things.

Dov is the worst and I wish he had got more comeuppance but i guess it’s realistic the the worst dudes get away with it and get labeled at charming but eww I hate him

I don't think I have ever been so conflicted about the rating of a book. 
I started reading this at the start of August, and I was just reading it for the sake of finishing it, because I hated Sadie and I found every interaction with her to be very annoying. However, I couldn't read it for three weeks because I left my ebook at home and once I came back, yesterday, I was at the 84% percent and finished it, in the IX chapter, and I enjoyed it quite a lot.

I think that maybe these three weeks something happened to me that changed the perspective, and although I still agree that it is at times slow and at other times fast, which is horrible in my opinion (nothing better than being consistent), I think I love the relationship at the end. Maybe it's what I needed. 

So, in conclusion, you might like happy endings, but the best endings are the ones that are real. Therefore, don't waste time if you know you aren't going to like it, but maybe give it a try.

Who knows? Maybe you can start liking it when there's 15% left of the book!
