4.0

The synopsis of this book doesn't give much away about it. And I do feel that is a positive because I went in blindly and let the story take me where it wanted to go. It was a challenging book and took some time to get into the rhythm of, but I would say about 100 pages in, I had an ah-ha moment and from there it just flowed for me. This story is very well written and showcases such a cast of characters. The dynamics of the relationships were strong and compelling. The characters were rich. Lily was my personal favourite. She just felt so relatable.  This story was sad and dark and challenging and I know that does not work for everyone, but I enjoyed it for what it was.
