 I was really excited to read this book but I couldn’t yawn harder. The first two chapters were on your toes and then after that, I was fully seated the rest of the book. Falling asleep thinking about it. Whoever wrote the review that this will be “a classic in vein of To Kill a Mockingbird,” what kind of drugs were you on? Cause no. I gave it two stars instead of one just because I like the idea of what the book COULD HAVE BEEN but it definitely wasn’t it. So glad to have it over with. Took way too long for me cause I was dreading picking it up.
