De eerste driekwart van het boek ging nergens over, maar niet op een vervelende manier. Gewoon lekker rustig zeg maar. De laatste kwart ging dan weer mega snel en toen verloor de schrijfster me een beetje. Vond ik jammer.
Wel een heel origineel verhaal, ik denk alleen dat het einde op een veel betere manier geschreven had kunnen worden.
