1.0

The last 180 pages were amazing, the rest of the book was hard to get into. The main character was rather un-relatable and his moodiness made it hard to cheer for him at times. The feeling of being stuck and wanting to find a new life was something that resonated, but the methods of going about achieving that other life were not as much.
