4.0

I did really like this book, but it was difficult to read, and not for the reasons I expected. I loved the first few chapters and was very excited to see how the story would unfold, but after that it felt like the narrative was rather uneven in terms of how compelling I found it. I was really looking forward to a story that focused on the friendship between the two main characters, and I felt like I didn't really get the story that I was excited about when the book began. The different love stories just seemed to take over the plot in ways that didn't hold my interest. Nonetheless, I'm glad I read it and would certainly give other work by this author a try. I felt like there were a lot of good things in this book that I just would really have liked to see more of in the overall story.
