I really really wanted to love this book. I really did. Everything about this story is something i'd enjoy. And I did like parts of it but a lot of it felt forced.
The first 2/3rds of the book felt slow, too much building without actually telling a story. The next part felt really good but still rough to read. A lot of the dialogue felt like someone writing it, instead of actual alive characters.
And the ending.. it ended that way simply because she *asked*?
