The World Cannot Give by Tara Isabella Burton

---

This book has me feeling very perplexed. Obviously I enjoyed the reading experience enough to finish the book, but there were also so many parts of this that I actually disliked. Some parts read like poetry and other parts felt exactly like watching a teen drama, which considering the ages seems appropriate. Are we meant to like any of the characters? Are we meant to actually care what happened to any of them? I can't even explain what kept me drawn into the pages, except maybe just a gross fascination with watching someone shipwreck their soul.
