First things first, I have to say that this is such a stunning cover!! I love the design so much. The design of the naked cover is stunning as well. This one would definitely be on my list of all time favorite covers!

Unfortunately, the content just wasn't for me.

DNF

I was SO excited to pick this one up when my work book club pitched it... but when I finally bought a copy and started reading... I just wasn't into it.

My first hesitation came when I saw that the story would be narrated by different characters. It takes a LOT for me to enjoy this format; the characters all need to be very different and have their own tones, each storyline needs to add to my overall feelings of the story, and they cannot be repetitive.

Unfortunately in this case, I just didn't care about any of the characters. Not a single one. And with the different narratives, I found it to be very repetitive, especially with Inan and Zélie. From the storyline standpoint, I didn't care to see where things were going. And with the writing, there were too many similes for me.
