What. Was. This. Book... There were so many character perspectives to keep up with that it felt like work reading this book instead of entertainment. The staggered timelines did not help either. Once I was finally able to catch on, I was guessing who did it and what happened and I was actually enjoying the story but I would eventually get lost again, and repeat the cycle. That was basically my experience reading this book. For me, it was just too many characters to keep up with but overall I did enjoy the idea of the story.
