3.0

I was left wanting more from this book, as very little actually happened. I felt the last third was rushed. After having spent so long focused on the main character’s feelings and development early on, the events toward the end and her actions didn’t add up for me. It’s certainly very readable prose, but I wanted more from the plot.
