I had very high hopes for this book and sections of it delivered but many others did not. I did not like that there were no chapters in this book which made it difficult to read as there was often no "good" places to stop for a break. I thought the beginning of the book was very slow. Only halfway through did I start to get more invested but many references were made about books and authors and such that I do not know, which made it a bit less interesting. I found Hannah's story very interesting and during the retelling of her story found myself having no problems reading through page after page. In the end, as Aaliya's chatacter grows and develops, I began to enjoy her story more but I was disappointed with how the book ended.
