I was really enjoying this book, until I wasn't. I felt that it did a good job of creating this really big, gray area where as the reader we see both sides to everything. However, because of this choice I also felt that it was very quick to lose interest. About 2/3's of the way in I had to stop and ask myself why I should care what these characters have to say? They kept walking in circles around the same point and it started to feel really repetitive. I ultimately left feeling as if I gained nothing from this story.
