To be honest, I couldn't get into this book very well. From the beginning the timeline went back and forth and I couldn't follow it well whereas with other books I never suffer from this. I did keep reading because the story appealed to me
But along the way I did not get excited. The characters were not really likable, the story moved slowly. I guess it just wasn't for me
