Oh my god was this so boring! This was disappointing because it started off really good and I didn't mind the tone of the main character so much. However, it so quickly becomes stagnant and until about 50% there is basically nothing that happens except some flashbacks and constant ramblings about being a "gifted" kid with nothing to show for it. When things do start to happen I had already lost all interest in this story and I was just ready for it to be over it. The twist is no shock at all and the romance felt so flat. All the conversations about wealth inequality felt surface level and I wish instead this book had just focused on the flaws of the characters without trying to make a commentary on everything else. Filled with endless descriptions of things that added nothing to the story.
If this puts me in a reading slump I might actually cry.
