2.3 stars. crazy plot twist at the middle! but not enough to make me engaged in the overall plot and two dimensional characters. this book was a drag to read through, but i still continued reading it because i wanted to see if things would be more interesting, but alas no. there wasn’t sufficient buildup for certain plot points, and i can definitely see how certain scenes would be interesting to read. i just know this book isn’t for me - too boring.
