I'm sure i'm not the only one when i say that i pick up a book just because the description was so tempting and was hopeful for a great time altogether, but i was so lost while reading this book.
There are characters that i liked and the writing is very good, but i couldn't get into the story at all.
I was confused because of the then and now timeframe and so many things that i wanted to add up, to make more sense so i can put the pieces of the puzzle together , but it was just hard to do so.
And i hate when i have to put a book down and pick it up at a later time just because maybe that time i will see everything with other eyes , but that's not the case at all.
Maybe other people will enjoy it more, unfortunately it wasn't for me.
Very grateful to the publisher for my review copy through NetGalley.
2.5 stars
