This was highly recommended to me by a friend. It's not my usual genre but I gave it a shot. I'll be honest I found the characters personalities annoying for a long while into the book and at times wanted to just not listen to it anymore. But I figured that was probably on purpose so I better keep going and I'm so glad I did. I was not expecting anything that happened to happen. Mind blown. I am just so impressed by it. I wound up really enjoying it.
