If this was not I a book club book, I would have DNF-d it after the first quarter.
This book was depressing from beginning to end and the books on the book list seemed random, like the author tried to pick the most basic but slightly diverse ones to make it relatable to the reader - which worked, I myself have read a couple of them - but the connection seemed forced and exaggerated.
I cannot believe the Aiden story line, and Aleisha's did not seem properly resolved for me. There was a lot of writing with little plot and overall I really had to power through.
