Customer Reviews

Decent but not captivating

I wanted to like this more because I thought I would be able to relate due to somewhat similar situations in my family life but it took me forever to get through this which is never a good sign. Also it was written in a way that wasn't challenging enough and it felt too young, if that makes sense-- maybe better suited to a young audience (early 20s?). I feel like it never really picked up speed and the ending was random but still parts felt unfinished. I don't think this author is for me.
