Review
I had to read this book for my university course, and I think that's the main reason I had such a huge problem starting it. I've wanted to read this book for a while, and my older sister highly recommended it, and yet I couldn't make myself read more than a couple pages at a time.
Eventually though, I started reading it properly and I fell in love with it. The narrator in this novel is flawless, and really pulls you into the story, even though you never learn her first name, she's the kind of character who you can instantly connect with.
One of the things I loved the most about this book, was the way it ended. I didn't see it coming and that was really great. I love books that shock me, and this one did.
Once I properly got into this book I couldn't put it down, it was fantastic.
I would highly recommend this book, it was truly amazing.
