I love Banana’s writing style but this book was so long and bland. I wanted to like it but I really struggled to stay engaged. It is possible that I didn’t relate to the themes as much as her previous books and that is why it didn’t appeal to me. I also wasn’t a fan of the supernatural elements. Of all of Banana’s books, I would not recommend this one to a friend.
