READ CONTENT/TRIGGER WARNINGS. 
I forced myself to finish this, but I don't think I should've. I also had to read this with the audiobook because I would've DNF'd if I read it without. It's not for me and I don't get the praise for it. It could've been shorter, and it still would've kept the essence of the story. I disliked most of the characters and they weren't interesting enough for me to be really invested. Like there were parts that were interesting, but not interesting enough for me to enjoy the book as a whole or to have been worth reading the whole thing. I liked the idea of the book and I liked the setting though.
I will not be checking out more from this author if she writes future books like this.
