4.0

There are so many mixed reviews for this book that my expectations were not that high. I tried to physically read this when it first came out and couldn't get into it, but then I listened to the audiobook and I actually quite enjoyed the story once I could get further in. It definitely gave Evelyn Hugo vibes and it wasn't the most unique storyline ever, but if you're an EmHen fan, I'd say to give this a shot (on audio, probably).
