Okay. So unlike my other reviews this one is going to be short, sweet and to the point because I don't have a lot to say about this one. I thought for sure I was going to love this book. I love books that mess with your mind. But this one....I just don't know.
The writing was confusing but good. The way the story skips around makes it hard to keep up. I didn't like the characters. At all. I didn't connect with them. I couldn't understand them. I just couldn't do it. I couldn't get into the story. I did finish it but it was hard. I figured the twist out early on and once it was revealed the story just seemed to drag the rest of the way out.
NOW, that being said, I would love to give this author another go since this was my first time reading any of her work. Just because THIS book didn't make the cut for me doesn't mean I won't enjoy another she wrote.
By all means, check this book out for yourself. You will more than likely enjoy it. Many, many others have.
