I skimmed through the last third of the book. It's very repetitive and there isn't a climax or ending to the book.
The writing was good, but the plot was stretched too thin. I figured out the ending halfway through. Joni’s characterization felt more convenient than authentic. The plot line with Theo felt too underdeveloped to carry as much weight as the author put on it.
I havent finished yet so I cant comment on how it ends or if it gets better. It is just ok and way too long. The last 100 pages are dragging, making it hard to finish when I fall asleep reading every night. It should've ended much earlier. I keep waiting for something big to happen so I'm going to finish it but have a feeling it is just going to end. Also the main characters are not likeable people at all.
Long and drawn out with unlikable characters. I struggled to finish this with the hope that it would all come together in the end. Wish I had passed on this Reese pick.
Not my favorite but it was entertaining
