I’m not entirely sure what to say about this one. I started out assuming it was a YA so when the writing and characters didn’t fall into that I had a hard time connecting. Then the story proceeded in a PG type fashion which kept me thinking YA but near the end gets decidedly NOT PG and so it really stuck out as other.
The story as a whole was just too long and too convoluted for me. I didn’t connect to the mc much even though we have several large things in common. I felt like the writing was repetitive thus my feeling it was too long and drawn out unnecessarily.
Then the story gets super complicated and chaotic at the end with so many back and forth’s about what happened and why that I was just done.
I want to read the next one only bc I’m super curious how the author resolves a pretty serious speed bump that’s arisen for our mc.
But mostly this just wasn’t a writing style that I enjoyed.
