It was really boring to me until like the last 20 pages. I didn’t like the main characters or the plot so it just wasn’t an enjoyable experience.

3.75

The first half of the book made me roll my eyes more times than I can count, but by the end of it, I found myself tearing up a couple times. As someone who has had the same black slug eating away at my insides for years, this book warmed my heart. I love that

both Aysel and Roman decided to live in the end. That could've taken a much darker turn otherwise.

Overall, a fast read and a dark but hopeful story.
