At times boring.
At times chilling.
Entirely heartbreaking.
I hate books that ends with so many unanswered questions. I.. also wanted more love. Maybe that was the horror of it, that the person that was with you wasn't the one you loved. But all Miri did was think about the past, I'd have loved seeing her longing and love toward Leah in the present. Regardless of what was happening to Leah.
