I didn’t mean to read this book, I was supposed to read Poppy War for a book club and I got confused and checked this one out instead. But I loved the writing, it was beautiful. I was drawn into the story.  However I absolutely hate June, like with a passion. She is an unlikable character.  I do not feel empathy or sympathy for her just disgust.  But I couldn’t put the book down either.  This is leaving me with some very mixed feelings. I have no regrets, but I’m in a bit of turmoil.
