The premise of this book was great, and I think on paper I would have liked this book, but sadly the pacing ruined it for me. Basically all plot points were revealed without any feeling or emotion. It was as if the author took “show don’t tell” and flipped it around. Some characters were fine and I understand that this book could’ve been so good but frankly the writing killed it for me.

This book was a lot harder than I thought it would be. I got from the description that this would be a bit sad and probably dark in places and it definitely was. That being said I think Moring really handled those subjects with care. It didn't feel preachy or like you were being forced into these places. It was definitely a journey but its a good one if you can handle it.
