I honestly don't even know where to begin with this book. I understand a bunch of the three star ratings that this has.
It took me literally 200 pages to get invested into this. A VERY slow start to the book, but let me tell you...WORTH IT. With all the POVS at the beginning it was a lot to take in. Around the 300 page mark it all starts clicking together in the best ways.
There are parts in this book that are down right disturbing, made me physically cringe and put down the book but it was a solid story. I will be reading book 2.
