What did I like about this book? 

-the cover
-the synopsis 
-the narrator 

That’s it. 

The story had a lot of potential, but the execution was not there. It was a very slow burn with a rushed ending. This could have been paced better, it could have been beefed up to make the characters feel like people, it could have been a lot of things it just wasn’t. 

I’m willing to believe that had I read this when I was younger I’d have enjoyed it more. I don’t think I’m the target audience and that’s okay. But I didn’t like this one. 

⭐️⭐️ for the three things I did like….
