It was a fantastic story, for me it was difficult to get into but I had been told by many sources it was worth it so I stuck to it. I’m not sure at what point I got really invested but it definitely happened. By about midway I found myself drawn to so many of the characters and then everything was dramatic and shifting from there. Some of the ways this author talks about dealing with trauma and different types of shielding mechanisms really made me love this book by the end. Definitely something I would say is worth the time!
