I’m honestly torn between whether I enjoyed this book or not. There were parts that really pulled you in, and you could get lost in the narrative. BUT, the writing style kept bring me back to reality…the author didn’t use quotation marks and rarely punctuated the text. It all just flowed in an endless drivel. It took away from the parts of the story that could’ve been something magical as I kept skimming through nonsense.

This is the book I would write if I could. Nice people being nice to each other over a lifetime of tribulations. Heart warming

I found this book incredibly hard to read with the way it is written with no quotation marks or paragraph breaks. I nearly put it down at page 93, then finally something interesting was happening in the story. It was a confusing book to understand and a little boring but I do appreciate the incredible writing of this author, it just unfortunately wasn't for me.
