While there wasn’t anything wrong with this book, most of it just didn’t work for me. I found the characters and their choices so frustrating, the pacing is slow, and the subject is bleak. I realize 3 stars is a pretty high rating for something I overall didn’t like that much, and I think it’s because a few moments (and definitely the ending) really tugged at my heart.
