I really enjoyed the audio version of this book. I had a hard time connecting to some of the characters but overall it was very interesting and worth the listen. The cast was great.

I couldn’t finish this book because I hated the point of view. It was written in what seemed like “a whole bunch of hypothetical thoughts” and a bunch of “different scenarios.” 

I kept getting lost in whether or not things were actually happening in the or were they made up in the narrators head. 

This book was just very confusing and I couldn’t keep up. I feel like I would’ve loved the message though if I continued it.

Took me a minute to get into this but once I did I really was! Kandese and Quanneisha were stand outs for me
