I had to read this book for a summer reading assignment and, as I usually don’t like the books I read for school, I wasn’t expecting to like this book either. It’s started off a little slow for the first few chapters but then it picked up and I could not put it down. I absolutely love this book and I cant exactly explain why but the writing is so beautiful, the narrative is so intriguing, and the overall story just pulls you in so much so that you forget you’re reading. I annotated this book like crazy because I just had so much to say and so many things I wanted to underline. 

To sum up, I definitely recommend to anyone 14+. This is an amazing, AMAZING novel so don’t hesitant to read it!
