This book is heavily character-based and that took me a while to get into it. Her life in London was not as interesting to me as once she makes the decision to go see her father and everything that happens with that. Once she is on the plane and then lands and sees her father everything that happens that is super interesting in a really great story but I think a lot of the beginning part could’ve been cut out. I still think it’s definitely worth a read.
