This one fell a little short for me. I had such high hopes for it going in. The premise is good, and I liked the beginning and the style of writing, but I struggled with the forced dialogue and the random scenes that didn’t seem to add much to the storyline.
The second half of the book was a tad boring, as well. I noticed the timeline began to hop quicker and it became harder to be invested in the characters. There was a lack of depth that could have been developed a bit more. Looking through the references, I got the feeling the author read through a bunch of articles and tossed them in, even if the event was super random and didn’t really fit.
I do see that a lot of time and research was done going into the book, and I appreciate being introduced to a woman I had never heard of before this, but with more character development, this could have been amazing. Due to the lack of it, this was a 3 star read for me.
