Sometimes challenging to want to pick up, finishing the book was more than rewarding. The whole time you are rooting for Lily to pull through and figure it out, and even though the ending is not in her favor, the puzzle pieces finally fit together and you realize it had to end that way. Took me a long time to finish this book, but I’m more than happy I read it.
