Just okay, but I think I’ll check out the movie.

I’ll admit, I’ve had this one on my shelf for a while, but I only picked it up because I saw the movie preview - which looks amazing!!!

I’ll admit, this book barely kept me reading. The writing seems a little flat and while the characters are clearly written to be fierce and so brave things they aren’t written to a point where you can really love them, in my humble opinion. There were too many stories going on at one point and I just think my expectations were too high going in.

I’ve never read Lydia LaPlante before.

However, the movie still looks SO GOOD. I will definitely still be watching it and I think this might one of the rare occasions where the screen adaptation really is better than the book.
