This book was just.... not for me. Which is a real shame as it wasn't that far off being really good.
I couldn't like the main character, or find anything about her to actively dislike either. She somewhat coasted through the plot relying on everyone else to direct her narrative and not herself. I found her outlook, actions, and thoughts quite juvenile, and her relationships with people around her quite unpleasant to read.
The story itself was somewhat pedestrian with a clear set of tropes and a obvious routing and while I am usually someone who can get on board with that, someone who doesn't mind the obviousness of it all, the pacing, and lack of direction and drive made the payoff negligible at best.
Not my cup of tea.
