Elif Shafak's writing is gorgeous, I underlined a lot of beautiful quotes. However, I just think this book was not necessarily for me, Ada frustrated me so much. She frustrated me so much that I ended up having barely any interest in the rest of the story and characters.
I think I will try atleast one more book from Shafak because I do think she is talented. This one simply wasn't for me I think.
