the book was hard to get into at the beginning, the writing style is a stylistic choice that i don't really enjoy (says one sentence for the plot, next paragraph is some side tangent fact and then goes back to the plot), but then i got used to it and i enjoyed the story. was super intrigued about the scandal mentioned in the blurb. so the middle part was great and then the ending... very underwhelming and not at all what i expected. i didn't like how it ended at all. the reader was given expectations and they were definitely not met.
