4 stars.
I first gave this book a 3 stars right after reading it. Since then, I’ve remembered how much I actually enjoyed it.
The beginning of the novel was quite boring and didn’t hold my interest. I almost DNF’d this book. Albeit, the characters were so well thought out accompanied by a thoroughly developed plot. I felt for Aysel and Roman reading. It felt like, to me, I was living their lives. Georgia and her mother was just as annoying to me as I’m sure she was Aysel.
And don’t get me started on the ending. Reading about Aysel finding Roman in the shed against the wheel at the end of the book was so sad. Not to mention the guilt she felt for not telling his mother about it. Just thinking about it makes me sympathize for both characters.
How much this book sticks out in my brain makes it deserving of much more than a mere 3 stars.
