This one started out well. It alternates between Lena’s point of view and Hana’s

Hana is cured and getting ready for her upcoming wedding, but slowly realizing that her world and her fiance is not everything she thought it was

Over in Lena’s world, Alex is back and it looks like there’s gonna be the ever-predictable love triangle. Except there isn’t. Nothing ever happens. For the ENTIRE BOOK Alex glares and ignores Lena, she glares and ignores him, and also goes back and forth between treating Julian like her boyfriend and treating him like she can’t stand him. Meanwhile there’s a war going on.

The ending of the book...was there one? It seems like the author  couldn’t come up with a way to resolve everything and tried to disguise it by making it sound vaguely philosophical.
