Really struggled with this one. I didn’t find the characters likable. The story was far too slow and drawn out. Not NEARLY enough octopus time like it seemed like there would be. Super close to a DNF, but ended up skimming quickly to the end instead. Pretty disappointed in this one as I was excited about it before reading.
