I was actually really enjoying this book, until about the last 30% where nothing made sense and it all felt rushed. :(

It’s really difficult rating this one because I liked it, but there were just so many things that irritated me. The book is crazy repetitive and so is the writing. There were so many pauses in the sections that made no sense. Like there would be a pause when Misty would walk through a door and it would just travel into the future a few minutes and she would be somewhere else entirely. I didn’t think that was needed so it kind of irked me after a while.
