I felt like the extensive use of italic font really took away from my experience reading this book. It made it hard to get into and made me not want to pick it up as much despite being somewhat invested in the storyline. I did find the romance element a bit unfounded (even though that’s the point), it just wasn’t as believable. I did like this book but wish I’d gone for the audio book instead.
The title drew me in but it was too character heavy for me with the plot switching tenses and timelines in a way that did not add to the storyline and I just wish it had given me a bit more.
