Type of read: Commuter Read.

What made me pick it up: Reese's Book Club Pick.

Overall rating: This one was unfortunately a DNF for me. Life is just too short to read books that don't truly capture your attention. And after the books I've read recently that have either been so exceptionally good that I couldn't put them down or so comically bad that I had to see how the author would tie it all up in the end, this bland and melancholy read was not doing it for me. I understand story build up but dang was it slow. I loved the idea and subject matter, just way too slow-moving.
