Technically this is a DNF, but I’m giving it one star anyway as I did read a lot of it and honestly would still give it that rating if I ever finished it.

At first I was genuinely enjoying myself, I liked Misaki but Mamoru was the character I really wanted the focus to be on or I wanted them both to work together as a mother and son duo! They both have their different strengths and character that would have worked if we saw more of Mamoru
but instead he had to die halfway through ruining it for me as I was hoping for him to see the outside world.


My other issue is the formatting as well. It confused me when the dialogue was written with italics as I genuinely thought that was how the whole book would be written, thankfully it wasn’t (for the most part) but it was jarring and a bit too confusing. 

Overall, I do wish I could finish this book but it would be a slog and not worth it when I have other books I could enjoy.
