I just do not enjoy this book. I don’t feel like we get to know that characters, this reads more like a history book. I can understand the appeal of that BUT I am not invested!

This was very difficult to get through, even as an audiobook, and I was cringing so much when scenes became very graphic sexually (and quickly stopped listening to it with my 7 year old). Perhaps it is because I've seen the Broadway play (adore the storyline adaptation!) and the movie prior to reading the actual book, but I just did not enjoy this much at all. The last maybe 20% of the book was the best to me. I'm glad I did add this to what I've read, but...definitely my least favorite book of this year.
