challenging dark emotional sad tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated

3.0

Although i did enjoy this book and stayed up way past my bedtime to find out how it ends, i almost DNF less than half way through. I think it is because the more interesting stuff (in my opinion) was few and far between, and as much as you get to know the main character…..shes the only one who is telling this story. Overall it kept me coming back for more, but I wouldn’t say it was one of my favorites.
