This was a fascinating book because it’s probably the only one that has made me hate read it for the fast half and then legitimately hooked me in the second half, especially once I figured out why the first half was so bad. It’s such an interesting book that explores themes such as power and perception — the use of the different perspectives was amazing, though I couldn’t quite tell what the use was to switch between 1st and 3rd POV so quickly at times. I kinda wish I had a class to discuss this book with because there are so many layers to it that I can’t fathom. Truly an incredible book, even if it confused me and was a tad hard to get through at times.
