My Thoughts:

When I first read the synopsis for this book I thought that it was going to be really good, instead I was disappointed on how it was done.

It started off slow which I was thinking that it was going to build up to something but when it did it was just an eh moment and I was hoping that I was going to be shocked or surprised about how it happened.

It could have also been the writing style of the book. This book just fell flat for me the plot was missing something and I was hoping it was going to be an exciting read because of all the things that people were saying about it when it first came out. Even though it did take me a little longer then normal to get into I just wasn’t fully invested into the story.
