Customer Reviews

Poorly written

Ummmmm. I will say as a AA woman in her late 20s this was just not good. It was a terrible read. I did not understand the prespectives or the maticulous details about the setting or an article of clothing but then glosses right over important action or personal details of the characters. I honesly truly hated it and never wanted to continue reading. I forced myself to finish it....

I definitely don’t see the hype

I was suggested to read this book by my friend I must say I was able to finish it, while it wasn’t boring but would I read again heck no would I refer it to someone umm maybe if they like to be a bit upset when they read stories; but for the most part I was upset with the story completely. This is one I’d probably be disappointed with my friend for telling me about but overall definitely a book to read if you are in a book club cause it gives the group something to talk about which I am in.
