This first half of this book was two dimensional. I didn’t feel very connected to the main character or her story or her narration. She was dry and only half present. 

However, once we got “the reveal” (no spoilers) this book changed for me. Everything clicked, I realized why this story was worth telling. I felt like Daphne’s narration shifted too and she slowly came to life before my eyes. 

I really liked the way this book played with the ideas of fate and free will. And I liked the outcome of that theme as well. 

My only wish is that is was longer. I wanted more out of the characters at the end.
