3.0

I had a difficult time getting into this one, if I'm being honest. The writing didn't really hook me at the beginning, and there is a lot going on between the three different POVs. At times, the timelines between the three don't always match, which makes it a little hard to follow what was going on.

The premise, however, was really interesting! I always enjoy a good dose of magical realism. It's not a book I'd necessarily know how to recommend to teens, though, because it is so unique.
