     This book was good, but it wasn't amazing.  I don't know, this one is hard because of the meaning and all that stuff behind the book so I felt bad being my harsh self. 

     I felt like the beginning dragged on way longer than it needed to. I wanted them to like start the project and all that and that aspect alone took like 100 pages... I felt like that should have been more time spent developing the relationship between Violet and Finch. I really enjoyed the relationship that did form between Violet and Finch, even if it wasn't much. 

     I don't want to say that I didn't like Finch because by no means did I not like him. I just have some thoughts about him. I have a love hate relationship with Finch. I didn't really like him much throughout the book. I felt like a lot of things he did were just so out of pocket. I liked him as we neared the end. After the end thought I fell in love with him. 
I know it is hard to fall in love with someone who is already dead but the things he did for violet
I could really relate to Finch with the stuff that he went through. I can even say I have been in an "asleep" stage during my lifetime.

     The ending didn't emotionally hit. I guessed what was going to happen in the end. I wanted something that was going to make me bawl my eyes out but I literally didn't shed a single tear. I do have to say that the ending was the best part in my option. I grew to like the character more but that's about it.

     This book didn't really meet my expectations, that's why I rated it so low.
