2.5

I'm not really sure how to rate this.
On one hand it felt really slow and not a lot of things really happened, the characters were incredibly unlikable and I didn't really care a lot for anybody.
On the other hand It was quite easy to read and I managed to read it in just 3 days without it feeling too tedious. The "disturbing" aspects didn't feel forced and generally I would say the end was somewhat satisfying. The structure was a little interesting, with the whole flashbacks thing and the repeating motifs.

Overall, neither impressed or disappointed, can absolutely see how someone would HATE this book but I'm just indifferent to it, The epitome of a 2.5 star book for me. It's meh.
