Yeesh—this one just didn’t work for me. Despite the intriguing premise, I really disliked the writing style and felt the story went absolutely nowhere. I couldn’t form any kind of bond with the characters, which made the emotional beats fall flat. I kept waiting for it to click, but it never did.

In the end, it felt like a waste of my time, and honestly? I just didn’t get it. A disappointing read that left me more confused than moved.
