I can't put how I feel about this book into words. I felt disgusted, hurt, angry, heartbroken, sad, and finally just empty. So many different emotions came out while reading this book. In my opinion the ending was perfect, it wasn't happy or sad it was just an ending that made sure the story was finished and you could close the book and just think about it.

Not the biggest fan of the character dynamics. I really didn't care to finish the story. Not a bad book though, just not my cup of tea.

I gave it a 3.75/5 because I enjoyed the beginning of the book and how it started. I also enjoyed the characters and how it felt like there was more to them. This book didn't give me the "enjoyed from beginning to end" feeling it gave "I like this book but...". Which is completely fine and I still liked it.
