I really enjoyed this book and maybe a reread would get five stars, but for some reason I was really struggling to pick it up the past 2 weeks

This book feels like picking up a story you read a hundred times as a child 20 years later and still loving it just the same. I think this author might be the queen of the deja vu nostalgia reads

3.5

I really struggled for like the first 3/4 of this book, there were things with the narration and timeline that were making it very difficult for me to stay interested or invested in the story. Around the 3/4 mark is when things suddenly started making sense, but I do have to rate this based on how I felt for most of my reading experience. I'm sure that the score will go up the next time I read it since I will actually know what's going on!
