i really wanted to love this book, but unfortunately, it just didn’t do it for me :( it took me just under three weeks to finish it (which is a LONG time by my standards) because it dragged so. damn. much. the beginning was slow, then it sort of picked up in the middle, and then it became slow again. at this point, i’m just glad that i managed to finish it because now i can move on to something else.
i WILL say though, stachniak’s prose is beautiful. her writing is very poetic and sophisticated, it’s just a shame that the book and its pacing fell flat.
