slow-paced

     I didn’t like this book to say the least. I read it but I wasn’t really comprehending it. I just finished it yesterday and I don’t remember much…

     I kinda was hoping at the end she would start dating her lab partner but of course it’s not a romance book. 

     I don’t really have much to say other then, I was relieved to be done with this book. 

     I will be unhauling this book and I will never recommend it anyone.
