Ever Alice by H. J. Ramsay
2.0
Let me start this review saying that I REALLY wanted to like this book. I really did. But I just found so many things just missed the mark for me.
It was truly a shame because the premise was so intriguing to me. It started off with a definite struggle to get into the book. Especially when it came to Rosamund's chapters in which we were seeing things from her POV. Following Alice's side of the story kept me engaged, hence my completing this book instead of completely writing it off as the whole aspect of the mental hospital? Super cool and creepy...so gimme that. But I just keep going back to Rosamund's side of the story. It kind of ruined the whole reading experience for me simply because I found myself skipping or skimming her portions of the story due to lack of connection with the character.
