I find it difficult to express how I feel about this book. It took me ages to read it as I got bored halfway through and didn't want to read for a while. 

I loved the characters and their personal stories. It may help that I can relate to them with my own experiences, but I found them charming and would want to read the book again if only to read them again. 

The actual plot and story, though, I wasn't really a fan. I couldn't tell you what happened in the book. I think it relied too heavily on the characters to carry it. 
The twist confused me also. 

I wasn't fond of the writing style. There were too many metaphors that I genuinely wasn't sure what was real. There were times that I got sucked out of a scene because the dialogue would be interrupted by metaphors and descriptors. That might just be the authors style, and it's not for me. 

I think it would make a great movie. Solely because those parts wouldn't be there, and the characters would be the focus. 
I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it.
