This is a challenging read in theme, not language. I read this book for class, but I couldn’t put it down and ended up reading it in 2 days. This book is absolutely worth reading, but devastating.

I really wanted to love this book more. I love the setting, I love the story, and the characters are interesting and likeable.

What is missing though? I felt I was left out, and watching the story from far. It didn't really grab me, or pull me in, and that is what I enjoy when reading.

It was good. Not bad. But just maybe not for me.
