I’m not really sure how to feel about this book. Some aspects I loved, the last two chapters made me smile and the overall story was good. There were some scenes I didn’t understand why they were there. In the beginning I got confused and felt like I was missing something. I probably won’t read it again, but would recommend it to some of my friends.
