It was interesting. It was much slower paced than I expected. I get what the author was going for but it didn't quite hit all the right notes for me. Not bad, not great.

I don't care about these characters. I don't care about the love interest. Average at best. Definitely not their best work as writers.

Very sad how her family treated her. They are awful. Glad to see that she was able to persevere through it all. I hope she really is in a much better headspace nowadays.
