Kind of disappointing and it reads like one of those books that tries too hard to be more than it needs to be, OR more likely, I just didn't connect with it the way I wanted to and ended up being disappointed by that. I don't know. I wasn't much of a fan of it. I liked the ending though, the last line, the mystery. I didn't even realise it until it was mentioned and I liked that. Otherwise, it was meh.
