As others have said, this book takes a while to get into. Overall, it’s a decent book, but I don’t know if I can agree 100% with the amount of hype it got. Elizabeth is a hard character to like, gives a very “white savior complex” kind of vibe. I do love how the book is told from different perspectives & the story gets tied in a nice bow at the end. It was good, but not great.
