I struggled with this one, which is surprising for me. I really enjoyed the writing and found it beautiful but I also had a hard time staying focused and comprehending certain parts.

Book is well written. 
But I just did not care for the main character. She got on my nerves, and that made me not care what happened throughout the story. 
I felt some scenes and descriptions were repeated also. 
This just wasn’t the book for me.
