dark emotional sad medium-paced

I don’t think I’ve ever felt so conflicted over a book in my life!! It took over two weeks for me to read it when it usually takes me 4/5 days maximum to read a book. I ended up loving some parts of it and hating others, the book was so slow in pace during the most boring sections. Then the story was far too fast paced at the times which would’ve been more interesting to read about. Over the last year or so I’ve seen so many good reviews about this book but after reading it myself, I can’t say that I’d recommend it to anyone else, it wasn’t bad, but it also wasn’t very good :/

Wowowow

Maybe coincidences are God's way of remaing anonymous. Maybe, as i once was told, they are God smiling at us. This book was filled with them for me. I have an inner smile I hope to keep.
