I was beyond frustrated with the main character. I can normally deal with main characters I don’t like but she honestly felt very annoying to me. All the other characters saved this book for me. 
I think I would have enjoyed this book more if it was told from multiple perspectives. 

The premise was good and the plot was good too, I just really got annoyed with how much back and forth there was. I feel at least 2 or 3 of the issues could have been wrapped up quickly or been eliminated and the story would still feel the same. Maybe that’s just personal taste, but that was really frustrating to me. 

I enjoyed everything else about the book but I do believe the main character took too much away from it for me to give it a higher rating.
