This was a tough one for me because there are parts of this book that I really, really liked. There were moments that were beauitful, characters I liked and a plot line that was facinating. BUT. I don't even know how to explain how frustrated I am with this book. Part 1 got me, I was hooked, so excited to really get to know the characters understand them, move on with them and then part 2 comes and it is someone else, retelling parts of the story I already know adding details that frankly I didn't care to know (and it wasn't just because it was incest more to the fact that it was random and as far as I could tell from reading the whole book pointless). Yet, I could understand Dianora's pain, her frustration with herself, her magnetic draw to a person she was supposed to hate. But part 3,4,5. Nothing grabbed me. I got to the end and I was SUPER angry about the twist (or at least one of the twists) I didn't like a lot of what happened in the end. I will say no more because I don't want to hide for spoilers. Anyway, there are many who love this book. I am just not one of them.
