I picked up this book because the premise really piqued my interest. Unfortunately, I don't feel the story itself really delivered. I couldn't connect with the characters and oftentimes felt myself disinterested in the narrative. I even considered not finishing the book.
I think Yanique is a beautiful writer, but her flat characters really sunk this story for me.
