4.0

Deeply moving, introspective and meditative. An enchanting and utterly convincing tale on love, heartbreak and desire.

I mean…there’s a reason I hadn’t heard of this. 

There were some nicely written parts but honestly I couldn’t tell you what happened in this or what it was about.

I didn’t have very high expectations for this yet it didn’t even meet those. This was just a very boring book. Maybe I’m just too impatient but this was just so so slow I nearly DNF. It lacked substance and just seemed so excessively drawn out. Probably a total of two whole events happen in the entire book, and the rest of it is just thoughts. And not even good ones at that. It is really really hard to sit there and read the repetitive thoughts of characters who are shallow at best.
