This book wasn't for me. It's still a good story, just not for me. It has lots of sad and tense themes. Besides that, it really wasn't super interesting to me. I didn't really want to keep reading as it bored me. It was kind of confusing to me. Also the characters weren't that likeable for me. It's still a great story, I just don't like how it was written.
