3.5

I gave this only 3.5 stars because while I enjoyed reading, I felt like it ended too soon, without a satisfying conclusion to everybody’s story. There were some parts here and there in Part 2 of the book that felt very slow-paced. It’s quite understandable since the book focuses more on characters rather than the plot, but even then I feel like the characters still aren’t as fleshed out as I would like. But that isn’t to say I didn’t enjoy reading the book. I truly did enjoy the experience and it was very relaxing. I just felt like it lacked some things still.
I would still give this a reread nonetheless. I have a certain connection to this book that I can't explain. Especially in Part 1.
