"I can't even, in good conscience, give this book a star rating because I didn't even finish it. I got through about 13% of the 195 page book and closed it without the intention of opening it back up. <br/>Is the book <i>bad</i>? Mehhhh, no. I mean, I've read worse. The writing is very simple which makes it easy to digest. It's just not my cup of tea. The main character clearly has some baggage that she's working through, but in the most unhealthy, disassociated way that I know if I continue reading this book I'm just going to want to pull my hair out."
