1.5
The writing is meandering and at some points beautiful. Not a book you can put on and half-listen to, because the narrator’s internal monologue jumps around and goes off somewhere else. Which is not necessarily a bad thing! I actually enjoyed how unreliable the narrator was and it kept me frustrated but on my toes (which I like). What I didn’t like was how it ended. She doesn’t learn anything. It doesn’t really focus on if she has doubts. This character is single-minded in almost the worst way.
