My first one star that I read all the way through :)

Was very bored with this book. Hated the descriptions—they seemed to work too hard to describe nothing at all. Pacing was too fast, and that’s rich coming from me. I usually prefer faster paced books.

I think overall, I would have liked the story better as a movie than a novel.
