I really thought I'd like this book. (spoiler alert, I didn't)
The entire book was just confusing. There were a lot of time skips that you didn't even know about. On one page it's Halloween and on the next it's Christmas. I also found it very hard to picture what was going on in this book. The author would either give too much information that made absolutely no sense or not enough information and left you guessing. I don't know why I expected so much from this book, but it definitely did not meet those expectations.
