I don't even know if I have words to describe this book. It was interesting enough for me to read all the way through, but I didn't enjoy it. The pacing was very slow, it took forever to figure out how the timelines overlapped. The ending was not a happy one, and I'm a sucker for happy endings. I always rely on things righting themselves in the end, and this book did not do that. The last line does leave ambiguity on if there will be a happy ending, but I just personally do not like those types of endings.
The author's writing style was enough to keep me from DNF'ing the book, however it was very slow paced. There wasn't enough shocking events to make me stay up at night reading, which is about the only time this student has to read. Definitely not one I'd recommend unless you like slow-burn court cases.
