I’ve had this book for years and never ended up reading it, finally decided to give it a shot. Not gonna lie, I had such a hard time getting into this book. I came really close to just not finishing it, but then it began to pick up a little over halfway through and I couldn’t put it down after that point. I’m really curious to see how the rest of the story unfolds and how the characters react to their new situations and each other. I’m hoping the next book will maintain the momentum this book left off with rather than slowing down like how this book started.
