This was an odd one. It was hard for me to get into at first because I was finding the main character's behavior very repetitive. There were segments where I felt we were seeing a lot of progress and there was a lot of activity and interactions that kept me entertained. Then there were large sections (too many for my preference) where there was just a lot of introspection and clearly no lessons being learned by the main character and we were just going through the same old motions again. Towards the end her behavior was just starting to make me really anxious and I needed a conclusion to come soon lol. I was hoping she would learn a little more about herself and we'd see some personal growth but if anything we got the opposite. But all in all I was entertained for probably like 60% of the book. It probably could have been much shorter. Uh hyÿ
