It was probably my mistake to pick up a contemporary fiction novel when I've always preferred fiction fantasy (and I've been reading really good ones so far this year), but I didn't enjoy this as much as I thought I would.

For me, there were too many unnecessary dialogues and scenes that could have been skipped, but would not have affected the plot and made the book shorter and much more easier to read.

It is, however, possible that I did choose the wrong time to read this that's why it didn't settle well for me, but it is what it is.
