I gave a two starts because I actually listen to the audiobooks, so maybe it's was the audiobook that didn't fit me more than the book itself, but still, a very different book from Room, which a love so much! The characters sound really untrue and are so much arrogant or mean, or whatever bad adjectives you can give them that I just never had the chance to like them. That is the biggest problem with this book. The story is a bit also a bit slow which doesn't help. In the end, nothing really suit me in this book!
