The book was definitely not what I was expecting, and not in a good way. I enjoyed some parts of the story, but overwhelmingly I was confused and annoyed by how some of the characters behaved. I was more interested in the younger siblings than the main characters storyline and I feel like there could have been so much more to it if the characters were a bit more developed. The ending was so fast and confusing that I couldn't get my head around what was going on, and it seemed so unbelievable.
