🎧 I’ve heard so much about this book and was intrigued to read it myself but it really wasn’t for me. I know I’m in the minority and when it comes to others loving a read and I not feeling the same I'm often left wondering if I've missed the point. But I don’t think so in this case. It’s a tale of young adulthood, the relationships and the mistakes that we make along the way and how they shape our futures - but I can safely say I missed the appeal or the interest. I found it a slow moving plot and if I’m honest I couldn’t wait to be finished it. I didn’t find the characters overly likeable either. Unfortunately it just wasn’t for me but we won’t love them all I suppose.
