I can see what this book was trying to do, and in some ways it did succeed. I loved the way that parts of what really did happened were included but used in different and unexpected ways, however overall I felt like it just fell a bit flat. The last section made me sad to think about what might have/should have been. Plus the sex scenes were beyond cringe worthy.
