I found this to be pretty underwhelming. The different povs (which I am usually fine with)caused a huge disconnect for me towards the characters and made it difficult to read. I prefer books where you can really feel a connection to the characters and understand their thought processes and you a taken on a journey through their lives, where as this book felt like 3 perspectives mashed together with no growth or development from the characters. They were just there. It didn’t feel like there was much depth to the plot either. I prefer books with more layers and can change my way of thinking in real life too. Overall, not for me, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t attempt reading the book if it intrigues you.
