Ngl, I really dislike Vincent. I feel like his only redeeming quality is that he’a charming. That’s it. He is selfish, act too cool and broody since he was a kid as if he was some kind of tortured soul, when actually he’s just a selfish a**hole man.

This book has so many beautiful passages, but somehow it didn't work for me. A lot happens to the siblings, yet I never felt connected to them. Maybe it's because the story follows three POVs and covers so much of their lives, but everything felt a bit glossed over. In the end, I wasn't emotionally invested in any of their stories.

Some of the reasons I don't feel connected to any of the characters in this book, or why I don't feel much emotion while reading it, are that aside from Franny they all seem to fall into instalove, (spoiler) when the boys fell to their demise that summer, the girls didn't really show any deep grief and Vincent and all of his reckless adventures with women, most of which were illegal, by the way, given his age.

Man, I feel nothing while reading this book. Not a single emotion comes up as I read it. There's really nothing wrong with the book, though. Personally, I think the writing is good, as evidenced by the several passages I highlighted, and the story is decent, but it just doesn't make me feel anything. I'm currently on Part III, and I hope I'll enjoy it more.
