marigail 's review for:

4.0

I can’t decide how to rate this book, I feel more like it’s a 3.5 for me. I enjoyed it, I’m glad I read it, but it isn’t one I’ll be passionately recommending.

I absolutely loved Blum’s writing style, I love how much is written between the lines, it makes for a fascinating character study. The raw humanity she presents in this book is breathtaking, that was my favorite aspect of it.

The story itself falls a bit flat for me. It needed to either be trimmed down or expanded on in my opinion. It sits in this weird in-between zone wherein it feels like not quite the final draft.

So 3.5 for me, but I’ll round up to 4.
