I cannot lie, I hated this book. I was excited to read it because I had heard such great things, but I just didn’t connect with it. I felt like the characters were not deep or relatable, they were just products of what happened to them. Maybe that was the point but I did not like how it was executed. Things just didn’t land for me, and it felt like one of those books that’s thinks it’s revolutionary, but it really just wasn’t.
