I'm a bit conflicted on how to rate this one. This story didn't resonate with me how I expected it to. I had trouble connecting with the characters and the story in general.

That being said, I still thought this was a really brilliant book. I loved the writing, the structure, and the concept. The narration was also admirable but for whatever reason, I felt a disconnect during this book.

I think I want to land in the middle with a 3 star rating because while I struggled to connect to this one, there were so many things that I was still able to appreciate with this book.

I loved that this was based on a true story and I loved that this was something that I don't normally read about. The setting was another plus. I truthfully don't know how to explain my feelings on this one because they don't make much sense to me either. Perhaps I just wasn't in the right mood to read this at this time?

I think I would like to reread this later. This feels like a book that has the potential to have a higher rating from me later on when I'm in the right mood.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ALC. All opinions are my own.
