Honestly I’m not really sure how I felt about this book. I probably would give it 2.5 stars. It took me awhile to warm up to this book, I even almost gave up on it. There were parts I found interesting but must of it was very unrelated. The main character wasn’t likable and after everything she did, she still didn’t seem to be who/where she wanted.
