This book was painfully boring, but I kept reading it because it was a pretty short book.
I just personally don’t see the hype and praise for this book. My expectations were pretty high, but I ended up disappointed. Now, don’t get me wrong, the book written well, but I just couldn’t connect with it or any of the characters. This felt like a book that was all about depression, no happiness or resolutions, just straight depression.
And, who’s the main character? Every chapter seemed to be about someone different with mentions of previous characters in earlier chapters. It was so many people to keep up with that eventually I stop caring. Add this with page after page of depression and I was over it.
I get what the Author’s intent was, but it didn’t work. At least not for me.
