So the book wasn’t bad but it certainly took A WHILE to get interesting. I literally had to get through practically half of the book in order to get locked in cause it was just too slow in the beginning. After that it got really interesting deeper into it. Just hate that it took so long which is one of the reasons it took me so long to finish lol
