I really wanted to love this book but I just didn't. I liked the set up and the characters themselves. I also read it really quickly due to the short chapters and it being a short book overall, but also because I was always interested to see what would happen next.
I think where it lost me was just I didn't find the relationships convincing at all. It was definitely a case of telling not showing throughout the entire book and the relationships developed instantly due to the shortness of the book. So I just never really grew to care for the characters. This problem in a character driven book just meant I was a bit bored throughout.
However, I still enjoyed it for what it was. I do really appreciate the author's depiction of emotionally abusive relationships. I'm still glad I read it.
