I was unable to get past 60 pages of this book. Unfortunately, I found it to be very dry and unappealing. The book had such a slow start that I found myself uninterested in continuing with the story. The writing style was dense and seemed to be more focused on telling me what the character was feeling rather than actually showing me. I even tried to buddy read this one with a friend of mine but just couldn't get into it. I might pick this one up later but probably not. I have a rule of thumb where if a book doesn't interest me within the first 50 pages then I am not obligated to continue reading.

The premise sounded so good, a female led retelling of Treasure Island however the actual book didn't live up to the expectations. My friend was able to finish it but also wasn't overly impressed by the book or the writing style as well. Really wish I could have loved it.
