Disclaimer: I received an eARC of this novel in exchange for an honest review.

DNF @ 12%

I know I try to go farther than this with novels but nothing was lining up for this one and I am literally dreading going back to even close it out in my window so that's a sign from my head that this is not working for me. And that makes me sad. Because so many people like it, including people whose opinions I really trust and admire. But here's a little more about why I wasn't loving this:

I liked Mia. Mia is effing ruthless and I loved it. SO MUCH. But I did NOT like how it was written. It was confusing and awkward and it was as though it was written this way just to be something ~different~ and I did not like that. I had a really hard time understanding what was happening in the first opening sequences and even now with the flashbacks/alternate perspective on things I'm just not feeling it. Pair this with the footnotes and I realized that this was not going to work out for me. So while, sure the story seems great! the writing and the formatting just aren't my cup of tea and I am not enjoying it for that reason. Also there is so much effing dialogue that I just cannot handle it.

I hope you read this and enjoy it, I really do. But I am not reading this and I did not enjoy what I did read. So that's it for me.
