Don’t really understand this book or why it was so highly rated. I hated that there were no quotation marks in the entire book, and the story and the timeline jumped all over the place. It was very hard for me to follow with so many random jumps in the plot at odd times. I was very bored with the story and the excessive seemingly useless details at times. I wanted to love it but I just didn’t. I was waiting for something exciting to happen, but it never did. I am trying to read other reviews to see if I missed something 😕 I truly don’t get it! The characters were boring and the story didn’t resonate with me at all.
