I would say that LITM had many aspects that made me enjoy it immensely - captivating characters, stories of hope, complicated relationships and situations, and generally a beautiful story. I did however feel, that sometimes it dragged on, went down rabbit holes that were slightly unnecessary and dialogue that was sometimes overdone. None of this really mattered and by the end I was thoroughly captivated and in love with this book, I think maybe just the middle section needed to be tightened up.
