Where You Can Find Me by Sheri Joseph

*I won this book in a GoodReads First Reads Giveaway*
This book was uncomfortable to read. And I'll admit, it actually took me over two years to finish it. I put it down and just couldn't bring myself to get back to it. The subject matter is depressing, and one of those times where portraying it realistically was actually something that detracted from my enjoyment. If you read it, you'll understand.
The writing itself was oddly beautiful and unique. But it also made it difficult to get into the story. It was kind of like you were entirely disconnected from the story. And for some reason, the story also kind of lagged in places. Nothing was going on for huge portions of the story and then the book ended suddenly and without a satisfying conclusion - something that drives me absolutely insane. As for the characters, I thought most of them were well written and their behavior realistic, if annoying. I loved Luis. I enjoyed Lark. And I felt for Caleb, even if I didn't understand him.
Overall, I thought the book was alright, just not for me.
