Overhyped and overrated. The writing is easy to get through, and I did finish the book quickly. I couldn’t connect to the characters at all and their actions often made no sense. It wasn’t even that I disliked them, I just didnt care. I expected something deeper based on the 5 star reviews, but it’s like just emotional book without logic.
