Finally read this one for a book club, and I may have more thoughts to add later but here’s my initial reaction:
While this book didn’t exactly rock my world, I still enjoyed it once I got past some of the things I didn’t enjoy about the delivery style/writing. At times it felt a bit distracting or off-putting and got in the way of my getting lost in the story. (And also I felt like all the death from so early on and then constantly was unnecessary? Idk just started to feel like overkill and kind of annoyed me but whatever.) It got more interesting by the end of the book, and I do really like the characters and plot at the core of it all so I look forward to reading the next one.
