I was a bit hesitant to read this because of so many negative comments I’ve heard about it, but it’s actually semi good? I wouldn’t consider it a book that greatly impacted my life, nor would it be one that got me in a reading slump. The writing style definitely irked me at times because of the constant repetition of phrases and sentences one after the other. I wouldn’t be one to recommend it, but it’s good for a quick weekend read.
