As the book went on I found myself getting more absorbed into the story, and by the end I just had to read the next page.
I was a bit frustrated in the beginning, because of the structure of the book. It seemed like I was reading two, random, unconnected stories, but it made sense by the end.
While I got invested in the book, I would say that nothing much really happens till the final third, and a huge plot-twist doesn’t appear to the final few pages (and it comes out of nowhere)!
