3.5

So I’d actually give this book a 3.5 out of 5. First off I do NOT like the author’s writing style. I constantly had to reread certain parts to understand what I was reading. It’s also in third-person which I’m not a big fan of. But it has a great plot and the concept the author is talking about is very interesting. I didn’t enjoy certain parts of the book but I enjoyed seeing the pieces of the story connect. I also wish we saw more than 3 POVs since there could’ve been so much added to the story. For me the one of the only parts I really enjoyed was the plot.
