I have conflicting feelings about this book. The beginning - amazing, the ending even more so. But the middle part was just so very meh. I had difficulty focusing on the book and found myself skimming more and more lines in the middle. But then the ending was so amazing that I know I HAVE to read the sequel. I think my high expectations in combination with me being stressed kind of sabotaged this book, but for now it’s sadly only a 3 star rating from me.
