I don't even know how to put this into words. I liked the ending of the book, the beginning and middle were a bit confusing. I wish the first part had went by a bit quicker. Overall it was an interesting story, definitely different than my normal reads. When I saw it in my email I debated if I should even accept, but the summary was so intriguing I stuck it out. I will say there were a few times I probably would have abandoned the book had it not been for a review.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the early copy in exchange for an honest review.
