“I found this book to be quite sad at the end. It was twisty while and though I did enjoy that part. The overall story is just sad in my eyes. I also didn’t like how it kept bouncing around to so many different characters. I appreciate the depth in detail in all the characters but it just seemed too much. It wasn’t needed for the story itself. So much sadness in the characters stories. Just too much overall.”
