Read the first 1/3 about 2 years ago but never finished and the first 1/3 stuck with me so I have a feeling that this book will stick with me for a while as well. Also made me cry so that’s always going to make it a 5 star book

Very much up my alley for what I normally love but I just wasn’t feeling it. Felt the relationships were not believable and I wanted more from them. Maybe will have to reread to appreciate more at a later date but I just wasnt buying into it
