To be honest, I had high expectations for this book and this author, but I don't think it worked out for me the way I would have liked.
Even though I liked that she writes from multiple perspectives, on a couple of occasions I was confused about the narrator and a time period we're reading about. As well, there were a lot of characters, so it took me a while to get the hang of relations between them (which didn't bother me, but slowed down the reading considerably).
Although I read it quickly and with a lot of attention, I have to admit that I couldn't fully click with the characters, so the twist didn't mean much to me either. 😪 I don't regret reading it - because as my friend would say, you should read this book once - but for now I'm going to distance myself from the author for a while.
Totally solid book, but not for me... I admit that! If nothing else, she helped me reevaluate some of my life decisions, and be thankful that everything happened the way it did.

Iskrena da budem, imala sam velika očekivanja od ove knjige i ovog pisca, ali mislim da mi nije legla na način na koji bih to želela.
I ako mi se dopalo što piše iz više perspektiva, u par navrata sam bila zbunjena ko je narator i o kom vremenskom periodu je reč. Takođe, bilo je dosta likova, pa mi je trebalo vremena da pohvatam ko je kome šta (što me nije remetilo, ali je znatno usporilo čitanje).
Mada sam je brzo pročitala i s puno pažnje, moram da priznam da nisam mogla do kraja da kliknem sa likovima, pa mi ni zaokret nije mnogo značio. 😪 Ne žalim što sam je pročitala – jer što bi moja drugarica rekla, treba ovu knjigu jednom pročitati –ali za sad ću se neko vreme udaljiti od autorke.
Skroz solidna knjiga, ali nije za mene... To priznajem! Pomogla mi je da preispitam neke svoje životne odluke ako ništa drugo i budem zahvalna što se sve dogodilo baš kako se dogodilo.
