Unfortunately, this is the first book that I started and deliberately didn't finish. I expected it to be a nice book based on the reviews that I read, by the description of it and its beautiful cover. However, I really didn't like it and stopped after reading roughly 25%. I wanted to see if it can catch me later, but it didn't happen. The story was not engaging to me at all. The feelings and the relationships of the characters didn't catch me, I had trouble to get emotionally engaged, I suspect because of the writing style of the author. It all felt rather flat to me. It also felt stretched without that something happens. It was also difficult to read without quotation marks for speech. I don't recommend this book.
